I found this item in the local paper today:
This looks like a great message to send to our troops fighting abroad.WAR TRIBUTES UNDER THREATSep 27 2007
By Lisa Boyle
A MEMORIAL parade for Troon’s war dead looks set to be CANCELLED because of red tape.
Old soldiers have been told that they need to stump up hundreds of pounds for insurance if they want to hold their annual remembrance parade.
They insist that they don’t have enough cash to buy the necessary cover and revealed they will be breaking the law if they hold the service without it.
Incidentally Troon is not exactly a poor community. It has 7 golf courses for a population of about 14,000. It is almost as rich as the place that Biggles resides in.
