Re: Фига се...

>Это не SASовцев прислали? Береты вроде по цвету похожи, правда кокарда какая-то левая.

Это 1-й батальон уэльсских гвардейцев: за ними Дюнкерк... Афганистан... Парады на именины королевы... и прочие отличия. :-)

"...1st Battalion Welsh Guards is currently based in the UK in Lille Barracks, Aldershot and has recently returned from Afghanistan, where it was deployed as part of 19 Light Brigade. 1st Battalion Welsh Guards regularly parades in Trooping the Colour for The Queen's Birthday Parade and it last trooped its colour in 2008. The Welsh Guards was raised on 26 February 1915 by order of King George V, in order to complete the national complement of regiments of Foot Guards identified with the countries of the United Kingdom. The Welsh Guards played a key role in the Second World War, as part of the legendary Evacuation of Dunkirk that saw over 340,000 British and French troops return to the UK against all odds...".
