Bless. The same old Bushy combination of boundless arrogance and endless ignorance. Still keeps us all amused.

Other than the 100 or so building workers that I have HR responsibility for you mean ?

The 9th Bn. of the Royal Sussex fought in the Arakan campaign and in North-West Burma. I'm not sure if that included Kohima or not ?
