Re: Queen institutes Elizabeth Cross for KIAs.
Biped, I agree with the sentiment, buts its "Her Majesty." "Royal Highness" is for other royalty. You ought to get it right, as I expect that Her Majesty is an arrser. (which might be an interesting idea for a thread, perhaps)

Re: Queen institutes Elizabeth Cross for KIAs.
Excellent news and about time to although I suspect that there might be some dissatifaction from families of those killed on training accidents, RTA's etc on non medal earning tours?
Maybe we finally have a medal that even the walts won't want to wear ... it's certainly one that nobody wants to win?
Years ago it was suggested that an apple a day kept the doctor away. But since all the doctors are now Muslim, I've found that a bacon sandwich works best.
I hate all this terrorist business. I used to love the days when you could look at an unattended bag on a train or bus and think to yourself; I’m having that.

The amount of meetings and MP's time that will end up getting taken up not to mention production post and appropriate extra bits and bobs like boxes and citations etc will tip the odds over £400,000 I reckon.
By the way. Do get your facts right before being a smart arrse :D Originally Posted by jimmys_best_mate

Re: Queen institutes Elizabeth Cross for KIAs.
Apologies for being "picky" but the coronation of our Queen was 1953 old boy. I remember watching it on the old black and white titchy tv we had then..
I,m not old I,ve just survived a long time.

Apologies for Mong Maths

Pennies make Pounds though. In defence of your point they'll have more than enough cash when they scrap 6 regiments and 2 aircraft carriers. Originally Posted by blue-sophist
