Tomb of the Unknowns Guards Begin Use of Custom M17 Pistols

[Gil Boyd]

Paul,
It reminds me of being a very clever young soldier once when a certain brand of leather polish came out that shone like a sixpence on all leather from the U.S.
The brand name escapes me.

All you did was paint it on carefully and no Sergenat Major could really notice unless he got down on the floor, other than to remark how much work had gone into the result and made everyone else take note as to the standard required in future..................................then one day it rained on parade.
No one tells you on the instruction label.............. the boots went white.

I spent a few days in the room where the sun leaves its suntan in stripes on your face, and I had plenty of time to reflect on bulling boots because the CSM gave me the whole Platoons to bull whilst I was in custody..............lesson learnt
