Many years ago I took one of my carriers to my units officers mess summer ball. At the end of the evening the col asked he could have a ride. So the carrier was soon full of ladies in ball dresses, officers in mess dress and the col in the gunners position , sword drawn and leaning forward over the front armour shouting charge at the top of his voice ( I think the drink had well and truly kicked in for him ) . We ran around the grounds of the stately home for about 20 mins . For months I was full bits of lace out of the back of the carrier , carriers and ball dresses don't mix .
Good fun all in all !
