Beverley's 'Valiant Soldier', aka 'The Violent Soldier'?
If you can't take the RAF, you shouldn't have joined a joke.

You need a crash helmet to drink in the Gunners too.

Tŷ Fry inn in Bodelwyddan(nr Rhyl) has connections with the camp and loads of history with the Canadian riots in 1919. Thwe marble church 5 mins walk away has a few Canadians interned in the grave yard.
It's also a 10 minute walk from Y Faenol Fawr hotel which was used by Cromwell.

I'm really surprised nobody's mentioned the Grenadier in Knightsbridge.
It's a bit of a cunt to find as it's hidden away behind lots of stuff. But it's a nice place, small though.
Originally built in 1720 as the Officers Mess for The First Royal Regiment of Foot Guards, the Grenadier became a licensed premise in 1818 to serve as The Guardsman Public House; it was latter renamed The Grenadier.http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/...08_308x385.jpg

Plenty of pubs named The Rifle Volunteer.
Bravo Bravo sets himself a depressingly low standard which he consistently fails to achieve.

There's an Argyll and Sutherland Highlander Inn in Greasby on the Wirral. Why, I have no idea.
It was a bit of a dive last time I was in there, but that was about twelve years ago.

Royal Dragoon pub, Military Road, Canterbury.
Been a private dwelling for some years but I remember seeing several gravestones in the pub garden before the fence went up

Funnily enough a few Argyll Bars in the recruiting areas, Alloa, Helensburgh and Port Glasgow. Leith has the Volunteer, Apparently a refuge for Hibees
Look at an infantryman's eyes and you can tell how much war he has seen.
