It's from a Cover of Pro Patria from the Late Eighties.It is a stained glass window at the museum I believe.

Happy Thanksgiving to you Geoff, and also to all the past and present Royals. Especially the soldiers who are serving in Afghanistan.

not the church at home station??

That would make a great tattoo. I've been looking for a picture of a royal in scarlets doing reverse order arms (or was it reverse rest arms, I miss my brain) for a tattoo. I'd like to get the regimental monument etc in it...that stained glass pic is a good start point.

Thanks.
