I am honoured to have been asked to be best man at a close friend's wedding. The groom and I are serving Territorial Army soldiers and have both been on active service in Afghanistan and Iraq.rnMy friend requested that he be allowed to get married in No 1 dress uniform and, having been given permission to do so, began the tortuous mission of collecting the correct items. Told that our regiment did not hold any in stock, we bought two sets of uniforms, complete with the necessary medals, buttons and insignia.rnWe are also in the process of buying drill hats at a cost of ￡120 each, drill boots for ￡80 and lanyards for ￡15. Does this great Army of ours really not have two spare hats and pairs of boots?
