Indeed. The last survivor of the Crimean War actually died in 2004.

The last American civil war widow died in 2008, though the last one to qualify for a civil war widows pension died in 2003.

I agree. In florida we were at a show in one of the theme parks, and they asked for all serving and ex members of the armed forces to stand up (not just American). They then asked for a round of appause. I'm glad I remained seated.

Exactly the same happened to me at Sea World, my ex was trying to shoe horn me out of my seat, she had more chance of moving Shamu!

Thats where we were

Didn't think it was possible but just looked it up, they were teenagers and married 80 odd year olds, thought something didn't sound right.

My great great grandfather served on HMS Victory as a boy rating.

My late father in law's service record shows him as serving on HMS Victory. He was only there as a sparky to figure out some wiring.

I'm sure they provide a valuable service but do they really need the livery?

Apparently so; 'High visibility means higher chance of finding your pet.'

OK, here's a real Walt story.

My friend then decided to hire a private detective, just to get some background on Neil. The info came back that he was signing in the dole, lived at home and had been in the dole since leaving university.
...

At the same time, my Dad had become suspicious. He called the Paras, asked for him, and the friendly adjutant or who ever said something like "Not another Walt. We get several calls like yours a month Sir

Are these the tts who have been plastering all the lamp posts around our way with slightly desperate sounding missing cat posters?

Also the high visibility and photo identification means they will be taken seriously when they knock on your neighbours door!

You often see missing cat posters ask that you check your shed & garage for it.
Well these guys will do more than that,they will blow the door down & rappel through the windows, heavily armed with Kit e Kat & furry mice toys.
You dont want to mess with the boss, he was 1st on the balcony when they went in to rescue Tibby!

Reminds me of the old joke

"I'm in a new band called Missing Cat - you've probably seen our posters"

They actually have more powers of entry than the Police, Fire Brigade, Customs or Gasboard.

By law you have to allow them immidiate access to your shed. Fact!!
