RIP to all the fallen of recent, to all UK troops on the frontline, keep up the good work, you are true heros and your country is behind you. Also RIP to Pte Jason Williams, 2nd battallion, Mercian regiment. Killed in the line of duty 8/8/09 and buried with full military honours 27/8/09. You will be sadly missed but never forgotton.
Just read that the British army now has a permanent liasion officer(who speak Danish!) in the Danish army's operational command. As we have one in yours.
To further improve the cooperation between the two armies.
How long before the Danes guard the Queen?Just read that the British army now has a permanent liasion officer(who speak Danish!) in the Danish army's operational command. As we have one in yours.

Haha.. we got our own oneHow long before the Danes guard the Queen?
Danes did guard the English monarchy before - King Knut.
Anyway, everyone knows English is actually a Danish dialect.....
Late spring I saw load of Danish troops marching with the British Army in the midlands, I was told something like 2000 in total.
^ Yeah.. we regularly have troops in UK on exercises.. especially the ones that are deploying to Helmand.
Not only are the Army's Royal Engineer divers over there, but also a fair few Royal Navy clearance divers.
Primary role of clearance divers is EOD, albeit usually sea mines, washed up WW2 shells, etc, but due to personnel shortages, we're supplementing the Army EOD guys too.
I'm in training as a clearance diver at the moment, and the current rumour is that we can, instead of the usual 18month sea time on a minehunter we'd normally have to do upon finishing dive course, we can volunteer for a 6 month deployment to Afghan instead.
I wouldn't mind going on exercise to Denmark.
Nice and green and flat.
I also hear the local ladies are quite accomodating ?
