I think I've been hasty:

1. Highlanders
3. UDF should of course read UDR
4. Royal Scots Dragoon Guards NOT RIDG

Knowing your love of weapons, the sixth (or second to last) Small Arms School - what exactly do these people do? (apart from wear all the woolie pullies washed and shrunk by squaddies!! :P )

Zofo, you're doing really well.
Don't know whether it will help, but no 7 looks awfully like the Royal Marine Badge. It obviously can't be, but it's similar.

Hi Derrick,
That is the Green Slime, Intelligence Corps! I worked with these guys all my career - this was the first one I recognised. the laurel is pretty similar though!

should have known, Intelligence = Royal Marines, L.O.L.
I'll keep my nose out.

Well done Zofo old chap. All seven correct - reward deposited to your account.

The small Arms School Corps test new weapons, develop training policies, write manuals and train instructors etc. AFAIK there aren't very many of them - maybe 70-100 in total.

Small Arms School sounds like a swan for weapons buffs- how do you get posted there! Thanks Mr. Sniper, I'll buy myself a flag now!
Derrick, keep posting and keep your nose in, - remember, we art mortal!
