Does anyone remember the words we sang to the tune of "The Green Berets"? Our song started "Hats of red and hats of white, riding thorugh the Aden night ---." Nostalgia ain't what it used to be! |

I just remember hurtling round the area in vehicles singing the song at the top of our voices - probably to convince ourselves we weren't scared! And Keith, Bloodnuts = Military Police! Or meatheads! I can get away with that, having served in both!! |
