Fifth Term of Service

2006-2010

And thus we arrive, Gentle Reader, at this Fifth Term of the Regiment's Service, containing some 68 engagements, or roughly five engagements every 19 weeks.  Truly a very active Term of Service and one bearing the fruits laid down in previous years, the Regiment still going strong, fighting battles and generally adding a sense of the ridiculous to a community near you ... although “near” may require a certain mental stretch.  And the true joy of it all is that even after Twenty-Five Years Under The Colours every battle is as vibrant and exciting as the first ...
