Roger dodger, delta duck! Message received and understood: provenance unvouched for but presented for curiousity's sake. Yut!

Yep, GMF was in the Gordons after his service in the Border Regiment in Burma.

BTW, the post about the insults to the BW -- I have read another variant of that story; if one wanted to start a fight with the 42nd, one would simply call for a pint of "broken square" in a pub where the Watch was gathered. The "broken square" in this story, though, refered to the Battle of Tamai in 1884 when the Dervishes broke the square. Kipling also refers to a "broken square" in his poem, Fuzzy Wuzzy.

On a side note, where did you find a copy of The Steel Bonnets?
