You know when ...

My personal sweetie (21 years and counting) not only agreed to having a Bren carrier in the garage ("say, it's cute!" she remarked on seeing it many years ago). Next, she found a silver Armoured Corps ring and gave it to me on the acquisition of my armored car. Then, and the best, she agreed that my son's initials (said son now a strapping 16 year old, and an Ordinary Seaman in the Naval Reserve) be "CMP" for Colin Michael Parker.

Yeah, treat Sweethearts right...they's a blast!!

Perry's quote above and yours about Colin (WRT "CMP" being embedded in one's name), brings to mind my personal situation.

My British birth certificate identifies me as John Donald Day.

For seemingly now obscure reasons, I legally changed my name to what it is now.

It only occured to me recently, with a mind blasting realization, that, had I kept my baptised name, I could have endorsed any manner of documents...."D Day".
