KORBR - Kings Own Royal Border Regiment

[Sebastian]

John Peel's best mate!

When you are in deep stuck - keep calm, keep your head down - and hope no one smells you!

This reminds me of an old poem which freely translated from the Irish says
" I realised the fear one morning, the blair of the foxhunters sound. When their all chasing the poor bloody fox its safer to be dressed as a hound."

Hide in the open and blend into your enviroment.

‘D’ye Ken John Peel?’:

Origins

Although he was well known in the Caldbeck area, Peel’s wider fame is due to a song. This was first written by Peel’s friend, John Woodcock Graves of Wigton, around 1829. It was based upon a Scottish dance (known as a ‘rant’) called ‘Bonnie Annie’, to which Graves added several verses of words in Cumberland dialect.

The Border Regiment

The old tune was well known and Graves’ words seem to have soon caught on. Certainly, by 1858, Cumbrian soldiers of the Border Regiment (originally the 34th and 35th of Foot) are reported to have sung the Graves version at the Relief of Lucknow in India - and it remains part of the regiment’s ‘quick step’ march.

And I endure eternally.
Abandon every hope, ye who enter here."
