Aahh A pretty boy by choice eh?
I 'fought' from 1980 - 1982, when I fractured my spine. After that I played cannon for a year, but then I got married.

Newcastle were no pretty boys (white coats) I remember the guy in charge of the pike (gunther?) seemed to his best to try and kill us 
Capels, well er.. we did have nice pretty yellow tunics 
87 - 92 (ish)

Gunter was there the day I fractured my spine - came down to Burton Hospital to pick me up. He'd emptied all the stuff out of his estate so I could lie flat out in the back. (They taken me away on a stretcher, unable to move more than my head.)
Happy days.

Gunter - the Mad psychopath with a heart of gold
To be fair he was a good guy from what I remember but he did get us into some scrapes e.g. pike-vaulting over fire pits to get into a fortified encampment at Pontefract

I actually got as far as going down to a local pub where some people met - I felt like their Dad. 
Loved exercising the old tonsils again though.

I think it would have to a nice relaxed Dragoon Regiment if I ever did rejoin.
