So when you joined the peacetime Royal Navy (of which you tell us 'ad nauseam' )during the days when we put Kenyan/Cypriot/Malay nationists in either concentration camps or shipped them off to exile, to whom did you take your oath of allegiance ? the Queen or the Country ? , think if you check things out you will find both you and following generations , including the young folks presently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan took an oath of allegiance to H.M. the Queen.
no offense intended to anyone who served either 'regular' or 'national service' during these conflicts , the British succss in Malaya compared to the US debacle in Vietnam is something still taught in military schools and colleges .
