HNY VL - though with the time difference you may have been back at work for three and a half weeks by now.
Bongser thought that he was going to play a blinder for you by recalling that the early C19 Royal Marines wore red and white hooped shirts on deck (he thinks that he read it in a Sharpe novel - Sharpe's Trafalgar? - some years ago) but Wiki doesn't agree. BOO!
It's the thought and failing memory that counts though, eh?
All the best
The Royal Marines in the late 1700’s and early 1800’s did wear a uniform of red coats with white cross belts from each shoulder and white breeches
All the best Bongser. It’s still Jan 1st here so
