Sgt Slingsby volunteered to spend three weeks with the team at Samuel Brothers (St Paul's) Ltd, the Bespoke Military Tailors based within the Regimental Headquarters, The Royal Logistic Corps, at Deepcut [in Darkest Surrey].

Two Bears were privileged to participate in the 65th Anniversary of the Arnhem landings (Operation MARKET GARDEN).

It all began on the Sunday of the August Bank Holiday when I, Cpl Arnhem from Sgt Slingsby's Team, was taken to the Aldershot Branch of the PRA for the Summer BBQ.

There's a bit of a mystery about The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal, and how it all works.  So we sent Sgt Braille to report on the process.

The Battle of Verdun lasted  from 21 February to 18 December 1916, and resulted in more than a quarter of a million battlefield deaths and at least half a million wounded. It was the longest battle, and one of the most devastating, in World War I.

How many Imperial War Museums are there? You only had ONE Empire!!

Anyway, I was delighted [as a visitor to your British Shores] to be taken to one of them - the attractively named "Imperial War Museum North". Hey, I bet they paid a PR guy a lot of money to come up with that catchy name!!

I spent two days at the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford with the Garrison Girls (1).
