I don't have a CD nor do I have a Long Service Good Conduct Medal, I guess I'm a bit of a screw up. I do have a 100% disabilaty pension plus an excepsional disability allowance.
The flag that I served under was the Red Ensign, it flew over our camps and headquarters. I was a strong advocate of the Red Ensign for our National Flag but the government of the day decided otherwise. I still have a Red Ensign for my burial but unfortunately the government has decreed that my Regiment can not partake in my funeral if that flag is displayed.

Wow Art, I read what you just said, but I can't believe it Can there be ANY actions by anybody that would right this? There MUST be some way to challenge this??? Am I a naive idiot to think that the appropriateness of the Red Ensign for your (or any Vet who served under it) is appropriate ... todays regiment, though serving TODAY, is honouring a RED ENSIGN soldier when they attend and honor at a burial for someone who served under it.....

I'm sorry Art ... bottom line, thats just fukken insane!!!!!
