The Royal Green Jackets Associa on
Regimental Number Plates
Iconic regimental paintings from the forming regiments of The Royal Green Jackets such as The Rearguard and Fording The Alma encapsulates perfectly the quite distinctive esprit de corps of Riflemen who have served with pride within our unique regiment since its formation in 1966. So much so that even after retirement a number of ex members of the regiment being proud of having been a Rifleman and recognising the value of those same admirable and free thinking qualities have taken and used them in both their social and professional civilian lives. For example how many do you know whose private car now displays RGJ vehicle registration numbers or whose trade or business name has a direct or associated connection with the regimental title and livery? Quite a number we are sure you will agree. With this in mind therefore we would like to invite as many ex Rifleman as possible who have such a VRN plate on their private car or associated advertising livery on their business vehicle to bring them along to a quite unique photoshoot to be held on the 9th July 2016 at the regiments Anniversary Reunion at SJM Barracks. The resultant image might not contain quite the same drama as our favourite regimental paintings but in this modern electronic world it will undoubtedly be: Old it! Flash Bang Wallop, What a Picture – What a Picture, What a Photograph! (Apologies to Tommy Steele and Half a Sixpence) Please contact John Fritz-Domeney ( johnfd@o2.co.uk ) for further information.
