Hi Dave ...
Then I shall have to TRY and remember that ... "Territorial Army"

On Guard For Thee - even I can recognise the words from 'Oh Canada' - I've sung it often enough at Dieppe Day services when I was a cadet instructor, at Wisborough Green near the original HQ for the Canadian forces.....and stood at the salute when the standards dipped for the last post. No more though as most of the veterans are too old to make the journey now.

Yes, that song brings back lots of memories for many military people and their loved ones, I can only imagine.
Flashback to grade school, wearing tunic and white blouse, white socks, morning routine was the class reciting the Lords Prayer, and singing Oh Canada (English and French versions) and "God Save Our Queen" at the end of the day.
