My involvement was just a bit more personal,m but you're spot-on about the nobility and courage of the troopies, at least that I saw displayed by the EM, most of the NCOs and junior officers. That can't be said for some of the more senior personnel unfortunately, the most notorious of whom was probably Slick Richie Stannard.
Sad to see what has become of the country they and their ancestors built.
True that, though of course it's not quite all over yet. But it's certainly been a hard couple of decades for those of the RAR.
Regards,
Cheers, mate!
