I don't care who they stick on the bottles but if our MP's great grand father creates free publicity and more sales then it was a good idea.
Neil it is commerce masquerading as charity support.
I am also sure that these soldiers would have enjoyed a beer (or two) that does not mean that they would like their deeds to be used for commercial ends...to make a fat profit for the brewers.
