The Battalion
was 100 Years Old on the 01st April 2000 and like any other birthday
their was a cake, however, this cake was cut by the Queen in the
State Apartments of St James`s Palace
|
|
|
|
|
There
were also two other people present as old as the Battalion during
the time the cake was cut, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and
Mr Christopher Whitty of Liverpool, who was too young to fight
in the first World War, arriving from Dublin in 1915, but joined
the Regiment in 1939, telling everyone he was 21. He also commented
that he was the only MICK old enough to ask the Queen mum out
to the pictures, after the birthday party.

Celebrations
were also taking place in the Battalion at Oxford Barracks, Munster
Germany. The MICKS were on good form that day, as you could see
from some of the photographs that were taken by Dianne Wilmont.

"Up

this jug.

It
say`s here, Sarnt major, that you only require one drop in your
beer
