Re: 1st Bn Goat Headplate - date unknown

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[the date shown on the head piece does not exist. it was presented to the Bn by George the 5th which is depicted in the numeral G, which is not a roman numeral. if you date the peice without the G ie MDCCCXII it actually dates back to George the 4th. 1820 but the date without the G is 1812. confused so am I. so was the silver from 1820 and melted down by george the 5th silversmiths and presented during his time. what do you say. but the date without the G is definately 1812.

come on you little DAI detectives. work it out.

you will see a picture of the head piece on the drums picture gallery.

CHESTER "the DALE".I was informed by someone that he passed away in Canada last year.You will find the picture on the 50s Gallery.L/c Lightfoot took over from him and was in charge of the goat for the Queens visit Garden Party at the Govenors House on .the 26 th NOV 1953.I cant remember if he was in charge for the power conference in Bermuda.

Hi 83
as you know I was one to, Lemgo days again can't remember much, anyway I'd like to thank Ziggy for coming to the rescue and looking after bill, because I know how frightened of that mad goat he was. When someone shows me how to up load photos onto the forum I've got a few, most people would of forgot about "Wilbur" the dark brown one we recruited in York town for the 200th anniversary of Independence day parade got some good photos of that,

Hi 83
I was the "Regimental Goat" on the SS Uganda going down to the Falklands, I can't remember who the Goat Major was on that St David's Day, Do I qualify? You can blame RSM/Capt Des Lewis for that "Stint", (not a lot of people know that1).

Best Regards and good luck in your research
