Here's one for the boys and girls presently serving in the Bty. During a debate amongst various old farts (regarding the pro's and con's of Bty v Regt reunions) a comment was made about there not being the same level of comradeship in the Army of today.

I, personally, can't subscribe to that idea. Not being a Soldier in todays Army, I couldn't possibly make such a comment. I suspect that the level of comradeship in todays Army is possibly greater even than when we where serving, for the main reason that, most of, you have been in harms way and shared the dangers. OK! we did our fair share of NI tours but, at the risk of starting a further debate ( bring it on!) I don't think the dangers we faced, though very real at times, where anything like the dangers you guys where placed in. Observations would be welcome.
