Very interesting post Warmtoast, accompanied by some very good photographs.
I'm interested in the uniform worn at the funeral. As far as I can see, all ranks are wearing the number six tunic, with shorts. My tropical service only dates from the mid 60's but I never saw the number 6 worn with anything other than long trousers. At that time on semi-formal occasions we wore the bush jacket (now called 6B dress I believe) with short sleeves and shorts by day, or long sleeves and long trousers by night (anti - malarial precautions). Neither version was worn with a tie, and these guys appear to be wearing ties.
By the way - does anyone wear KD any more? All I ever seem to see on TV is people wearing some form of combats, be it DPM or the desert version, whatever that is called.
