Maybe they are, but no one in the Royal Signals is (apart from the ‘Special’ people).[/quote]
I thought the Royal Sigs were ‘special’ people ;)[/quote]
My mum told me I was very special 
But even more special than me
Well ill keep it going. Simple question. What was the names of the two groups fighting in Rwanda during 1994? Just the 2 simple names. Also aproximately how many people died in how many days?
Hutu and Tutsi.
Lots died.
Luckily the African Union took decisive action and…
err…
That was very impressing Crab to be, two minutes! :shock:
Anyway the deaths were about 800000.
I got taught morse back in the 80s as a Combat signaller RE Cl 1 (only up to 12 words per min though) hated it but could see the point, possibly the only means of coms after the good old EMP and all that.
well if we are going on my question I guess Crab is next
Name two current Regiments within the British Army which wear a maroon stable belt.
British users - give our international friends a chance!
edit: Research based on Tsolias’s answer has lead to the question beaing altered slightly. It seems the question was poorly phrased!
Yes, the genocide in Rwanda was certainly a career-limiting move for the head of UN Peacekeeping at the time, a certain Mr. Kofi Annan.
The East Lancashire, South Lancashire, and Loyal North Lancashire Regiments.
Excellent answer. Beats the criteria set in the original question and I had to go off and research on the Army website, making it a valuable learning experience. :oops: The question has also been modified as a result - I now know of three Regiments (one is more accurately a Corps) which wear the Maroon Stable belt.
The Regiments you name have been amalgamated to form the Queen’s Lancashire Regiment, so that’s one of them. The other is fairly obvious, at least to UK military types.
I think that’s the best part of a quiz.
OK here’s my question:
Who was the pilot of the last German plane that took of from Berlin at the end of WWII?
You still owe Crab a battalion (or three) wearing a maroon belt Tsolias.
The pilot was a woman was it not (or certainly had a woman pilot with him), can’t remember her name though.
Im not sure that i agree to change a question after a nice answer has been given.
Cool, why don’t you search a bit?
Not having a go at you fella, just reminding you that you only got half the units that wear a maroon belt.
Cool, why don’t you search a bit?
Didn’t want to cheat and consult the book I have that I know has the answer in, I’l look it up later on if the name doesn’t come to me

It was a very good answer but not correct, the question was which regiments wear the maroon belt ie present tense, the regiments you named do not exist any more but have been amalgamated to one of the regiments required you still have to name the second modern regiment.
:oops: Dunno any other… :oops:

I know I did alter the question because I phrased it badly. You’ve got the moral victory with the three amalgamated Lancashire Regiments. To seal your victory, name the final Regiment. Your clue is that they tend to fall out of aeroplanes more than your average soldier.
Clumsy RLC movers?
