As
the Armoured Infantry of the Guards Division, Scots Guardsmen today are among
the Army’s first soldiers of choice on combat operations. They are therefore
likely to see active service regularly and often. We need to be prepared as a
regiment to shoulder responsibility for a larger number of long-term casualties
than we have experienced for a very long time. If we are to be prepared for that
challenge we must make provision for it now by raising funds.
In urging you to support this appeal to the wider regimental family, I am
reminded of the words that appear month by month on the cover of the Association
Newsletter: “That some of us no longer serve with the colours does not matter.
What does matter is that we are all of us Scots Guardsmen, bound together in The
Queen’s service until we die by a chain, the links of which are invisible but
which are as strong as steel”.
The Regiment needs your support.
