The Army in London:

The first military trio to row any ocean is closing in on the home strait with just over 500 NM to pull. It’s a formidable achievement and the team spirit is soaring #BritishArmy #WelshGuards #RoyalArtillery #RiflesRegiment

My Grandmother, Renee Ursula Morgan, volunteer cook for the NAAFI, and my Grandfather, Ivor Bradwen Morgan, of the Welsh Guards, who met, married, and had their first child (my Mum) during WWII. Thank you to all who served and fought for our freedom 🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧 #VEDay #WelshGuards #BritishArmy #NAAFI

#irishguards became never Catholic Brigade.
#scottsguards and #welshguards became never Protestant Brigade.
#Palestineregiment became never something else. If you believe it did.. show me official military British Documents.

During #WW2 there was a #palestineregiment. In all military documents this name is mentioned. Not "Brigade from a certain religious ethnic group". #irishguards had no "catholic brigade". #welshguards, #scotsguards had no "protestant brigade". Muslims and others fought against nazis in this regiment.

💥TODAYS PODCAST💥

I talk to Rhys Rutledge and his unbelievable story. He went from addict and drug dealer to a soldier in the Welsh Guards. He served in Afghan and his biggest honour was Trooping the Colour. #reallife #army #welshguards #drugaddict #troopingthecolour

The life  of Rhys Rutledge, you would think, was a fictional story, such is the unbelievable circumstances and events contained within in. Yet it is all true.
