    Was just trying to inject a little humour Peter!

    I thought "Royal Observer Corps" must have been a leg-pull, as we all know I think that Royal Army Ordnance Corps is RAOC.

    Even I know that; though I did forget in that posting.

    RAOC - Military Genealogy

    RAOC formed by the amalgamation of Army Ordanance Corps and the Army Ordnance Department.

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928
