Great to see. Thanks for posting it.

What intrigued me was the lack of yokel accent, I thought some would have had. I know you weren't necessarily from Sussex to be in that Regt but they acknowledged they were. Anyway, it's a lovely bit of footage although I'm sure I've seen it before so not sure it's that big a reveal. GOSBTS was sung in the jungles of Burma as the 'Forgotten Army' pushed the Japs back, Sir Max Hastings 'Nemesis' book acknowledges this!
