A hereditary knight, (didn't know it carried on), claimed to be descended from Robert the Bruce, the original. Had a party at his married quarters for his lackies(us) and the ones that went came back with stories of seeing his knighthood displayed in the loo... His reasoning was that was EVERYONE would see it and read it as they would go to the can at least once while there.

He was replaced by a Major from the Scottish Borderers. Now that man was a completely different offr. He wore battle dress daily where Sir Hervy wore dress uniform, just like he was back in Perbrite.

I know, you have a dozen stories to dwarf that one...
