Ah well.

Peter Singlehurst wrote an article for Medal News some years ago about an RN officer who took "leave" to enlist in a colonial unit.

Bit of a srcaggly Christmas Tree there Mike ;)

I would have thought you Canadians could have done better surrounded by Fir trees as you are :)

I'm with Frank on this one - no elves in skimpy little costumes? Good job you're doing there though with the young ones.
