I remember when we where in Balleykelly on St Davids day and then Nick Ravenhill used to do a good 'We are Warriors' and the Bn would join in good days

Charlie used to sing loads of songs . Did'nt he sing something like "That's my brother Sylvester , got a row of forty medals on his chest , big chest" ?

Not sure really Clive . According to Matt 5377 Post #8 , it seems they only sing on a few occasions . I remember that whenever there were more than about six of us we would always sing . eg On the backs of the 4 tonners going to the ranges , in the white coaches , in the messes and Naafi and in the town on a night out . Great days . No matter what Company you were in , you all joined in . We even had Company songs , same music with just a few words changed depending what Company you were in , eg
F$£%^k the alphas and the bravos and support company , there's only one company in the regiment and that is company C .
Good days
