Due to the size of the group we've given Olly a tape to reflect accuracy of NCO / OR ratio's..... As with all our ranks they are & always will remain cosmetic only ( each member is as important as the next etc etc.. you've all heard me bore you to death with this...) There's a logical reasons behind this... As Oll hails from Hull our southern events are difficult for him to attend, when we do low key stuff & only 8 of us show up, we become very top heavy, the sarge, 2 corps, 2 lance jacks & 3 privates.... not my idea of a average Tommy .... when we do big stuff & everyone turns up then we are accurate with the rank ratio.
currently we are : Sarge - Bob. Corps - Whizz & Guv. L/Cpl - Bombhead & Oll. Over 20 OR.
Any questions PM or mail me pls....

Good Show!!!
2 full Infantry sections of 10 men each, and a full Platoon H.Q. of 7. Roll on no.3 Section eh lads?
It's going to look awesome at the BIG events like 'the Victory Show'.
A big thumbs up to one and all for making the Toms the success it has become over the past year or so.
To quote an awful TV advert:- "I'm Lovin' it!"

A big congrats to Oll, who certainly looks the part. ;D Sounds like that 1 section dream of Chris's came true, eh? Its amazing that the group is this big, considering the size it was only 2 years ago...(remember Ashby, Whizz?) Everyone deserves a pat on the back.
P.S. In development - a reenactment group here at University! Hush Hush at the mo tho...keep you posted

This is a national disaster, do you want us to start a New vaughan's Kettle Appeal, how much do you want to raise in funds, any idea on what colour you want.

We should have a forum dedicated purely to tea and its drinking. We are all Tommies when it comes down to it.
