For Wang & al, a thread to post all your stories about this venerable Regiment.

I'll start by reminding readers of the Hampshires' post-WW2 mascot, Fritz the Dog, captured during D-Day and rescued from being put down by a Wren.

"Initially, Fritz was a very reluctant recruit. He caused considerable damage to his kennels by tearing through a corrugated iron fence and chewing through his zinc-lined kennel door all in an effort to escape. However, due to his good training as an attack dog he was soon obeying his new owners despite them not speaking German."
