My mistake. Didn't know that about BW pipers, although I should've - I was 2 RCR for a while, and they were rebadged from BW to RCR sometime in the '60's IIRC. They carry on a lot of the same traditions, even though they're not officially RHR anymore. Amazing P&D's there in Gagetown!

No probs, as I've said elsewhere far be it for 2 soldiers to turn up dressed the same!!
