Devil's advocating here btw ;)

About sums it up Guinness. :) To my way of thinking, Erics' Lads got a stronger claim than some young lad born & raised in Belgium by Kosovo-Albanien parents. :)

You just keep on advocating Mate! :D

That is as it has always been - a number of what can only be described as mercenaries in the past, but I have served with servicemen from many nations from 1961 - Irish, Nepalese, Sikhs, West Indians, Africans (black & white), Canadians, Maltese, Poles, Australians, New Zealanders and some Pacific Islanders, Pakistani, Indian & Sri Lankan
If anyone wishes to contribute to the British way of life in whatever occupation and choose to become a British Citizen after the qualifying period - and accept the British way of life, then I welcome then.
Remember that Barnes was a West Indian by birth.
