Agree with all of the sentimentality about BRNC.
The voice of Lieutenant Frank Trickey RN (as he then was), Parade Gunner, still haunts me:
"Exmouth Senior Divison, centre rank 13, 'old yer head up. Stick your chest out. If you haven't got a chest, go to slops and draw one"!
and
"I earned my rank. I didn't go to Gieves and buy it"!
