One of my mates was killed in a road accident on Thurday, yesterday. He was an ex marine cadet and I was ex RMR (no lid though, 2 yrs of failing the course), so of course we had all the banter of being 'with perce' etc etc and the 'Proper Corps'.
We are both Engineer TA now, he was due to join the Army Air Corps and his leaving present was the buttons, collar dogs etc from Lovats and a Union locket. I said I'd get some Lovat material to mount them on so I could get them framed up for his leaving presentation. Sadly he is leaving the mess but I still want to get it made up as his presentation if you get me.
By coincidence I managed to pick up a lovat jacket from ebay, it had 7 hours to go but I need a stone shirt and tie. Do you know where I can get one from as I need it ASAP, the funeral will be next week. I'd like to present it for him at the wake before the funeral.
Cheers
