Rugee, I would be interested to hear if you find the name of that mutinous Marine on the Barbican pavement as I have never seen it.
Artist, I thought pongoes were named after the hairy smelly animals found in the jungles of Malaysia

[Andy O'Pray]

Wully, we served at the same time as the great, great, great nephew of the said marine. He was a red headed Irishman, but I can't for the life of me remember his name. I recall talking to him when I was in 43 cdo at Stonehouse Barracks 64/66.

Aye - Andy.
