Babs moi luvver, mwa mwa. Yer tiz,
The real link is
www.servicepals.com
Calling it surplusspals was my twisted mind`s way of saying pals like Nobber and MOD are most definately surpluss.
This is what they claim
"ServicePals.com the only forces website to be endorsed by the Royal British Legion and is a great way to find your forces mates and meet new friends online. The site is open to everyone with an interest in the military."
When I clicked Royal Marines, this is what I got,
» 1 Assault Squadron RM» 1 Raiding Squadron RM» 101 RM Brigade (1939-42)» 102 RM Brigade (1940-43)» 103 RM Brigade (1940-42)» 104 RM (Training) Brigade (1942-43)» 109 Troop CTCRM» 10th RM Battalion, 47 RM Cdo (1941-46)» 116 Infantry Brigade RM (1945-46)» 117 Infantry Brigade RM (1945)» 11th RM Battalion (1940-44)» 12th RM Battalion (1941-42)» 13 Recruit Troop 1971» 15th RM Battalion (1940-43)» 16 Squad RM» 18th RM (Mobile) Battalion and Mobile Companies (1940-44)» 19th RM Battalion and RM Battalions at Scapa Flow (1940-45)» 1st battalion RM 1940-1943» 1st RM Battalion (1940-43)» 2 Assault Squadron RM
Not grouped as you would expect, i.e. 3Cdo Bde, 45, 42, 40, etc.
Iwonder if RBL are aware of how the site operates,
Tried to register as Mr Missed Muster with a username of noncy-boy, but got knocked back. When I have more time, I shall return ( as Gen McWhopper once said)
