Well it maybe Clown Time out there in the real world but why not take a few minutes out to test your military knowledge. This week we need nationality and time period/conflict. Honours are even in this hotly contested trial of brain power so answer in the comments section for the esteem of your fellows and no financial gain whatsoever!

Number One – an easy starter ( don’t start my great grandfather off about this lot!)


Number Two – not the usual uniforms but can you recognise these baddies!


Number Three- who hasn’t been devastated by the promises of a young waiter and wanted to run off with these guys? 😝


Number Four- from a mountain kingdom but a bar fight many years ago in Sandhurst proved their metal! 


Number five- Not just bacon?


Number six- Paddington would have been terrified!


Number Seven- bulletproof masks and an island off Hell


Number 8- The best!


Number 9- Riding to a country near you….

Number ten – a recent addition to the army of the Republic?


Number eleven- a proud history of gift shop protection!


Number twelve- Desert fox


Number thirteen – Fewer in number now but no one should mess with them…

Number fourteen- Eastern but how Far East?


Number fifteen- look closely you might be mistaken


Number sixteen- the most magnificent uniforms but which side were they on?


Number seventeen- where and when? 


Number eighteen- 50 days?

Number nineteen – a long way from home but where? Mark should know this!


Number twenty- these police never kneeled!


Hope you enjoyed this week’s quiz- military vehicles next Wednesday! Also this week the new Confederates are ready for Colt- action and the Fall of Rome Goths are champing at the bit!

  2. I have no idea on most of them, though for some reason the “Ministry of Silly Walks,” skit flashed through my mind but morphed into, the “Ministry of Silly Hats, and, yeah, if I saw those guys with the halberds outside a Hallmark Gifts or something, I’d certainly be on my best behavior to be sure!
