ian........you are quite right about the museum in Richmond. My dad took me a few years ago......what a stunning tribute to the GH's. My dad thought all the silver might end up there......I'm sure he'll be visiting again soon. Alas, I believe the Green Howards, who became part of the Yorkshire Regiment, no longer exist in any form......I'm reliably informed it was political and that because a more junior" regiment was on ops in Afghanistan at the time, it was deemed more politically expedient to "spare" the more junior regiment and sacrifice the GH's as they were not on ops at the time. Normal protocol would have been to retain the GH's. Before anyone jumps down my throat, I'm not in any way making a judgement on that decision. I'm happy to be corrected.
