By the way, for the Scots enthusiasts out there, watch this space. The Scots were greatly involved in the wars for the cape from the beginning when the 91st Argyllshires took the cape from the VOC and again in 1806 the Highland Brigade (93rd Sutherland, 71st Glasgow and 72nd Seaforth) reconquered the Cape which had been given back at the Peace of Amiens, all the way to Majuba Hill where the 92nd Gordons were the first British unit to fight in khaki in Africa. The Highland regiments will be well represented here and (here's hoping) we'll have a Pipe Band which will 'taunt' the enemy with the skirl of bagpipes.

Cheers all,
