IT WAS great to see the Citizen backing the campaign to save the King's Own Royal Border Regiment it is very much part of my family history in that I had father, uncle, brother and two husbands all in the King's Own.
I have just returned from Gibraltar, where we celebrated 300 years of Britsh sovereignty. I wish I could explain the pride I felt as the Band of the Royal Marines marched past playing John Peel', one of the King's Own regimental marches.
Later I was able to meet both officers and men of the regiment and I will never forget talking to young Lancaster lads who are now so proudly part of this old family. God bless them.
So please, everyone out there, help to keep the old regiment as it is by signing a copy of the petition or writing to the Ministry of Defence in support of the King's Own.
Mary Dodd, Lancaster.
