After 130 guardsmen from the Household Brigade boarded a Britannia at Lyneham an air movements corporal ran up the steps clutching a next of kin form and headed for the OC Troops, a young subaltern who's chin was rather challenged.
"Sir", said the corporal, "I am afraid you have not filled in your next of kin details."
'Pardon?" said the young officer.
"You have not specified who your next of kin is."
The OC Troops looked puzzled.
"I can complete the form for you," the corporal said helpfully, "if you tell me your next of kin."
"Daddy of course!" came the shocked reply.
