"Get On Parade!!"

Not sure how many times I've heard that screamed at me from Squadron Sergeant Majors or Regimental Sergeant Majors, but enough times to even now, some 12 years after getting out, I know precisely what to do.

Here are my four little minitature 'nussknackers' in the light box, in staggered formation, for exactly the result you see

May I wish each and every one of you, my followers, those I follow and anybody else who may see this (and my other offerings) a very Merry Christmas and a Happy & Prosperous New Year
