Well dang me! Aaron.

As you probably know, the Honorary Regimental Sergeant-Major, and his charges..... the 4th Troop [Assault Pioneers] Pune Sepoys and the 3rd Troop Jodhpur Bengali Lancers, are currently on leave, following extensive and exhaustive operations in the field at "Windows 7".

A few casualties were sustained in those forays, and with the 'Big Wet' having arrived with unimaginable deluges, an executive decision was made to withdraw the Troops for the interim for some well earned 'Rest and Recreation'.

Time has not been wasted however, as revision of "Vista Forum" Battle Orders have been progressing well, indeed, taking up most available and valuable time. Plans are to return to the field at "Windows 7" at some point in the future......but not just yet.

Yours Aye.....

I understand.
