And Wharton writes, now whenever we hand around the fags, we never fail to ask him if the situation is acute enough to warrant him lighting up.

And on the 15th, Stanley is confirmed as the new commanding officer of the regiment.

And it's interesting.

He wants it.

He's ambitious and he wants a challenge.

But I think he also thinks...

He's watched the regiment evolve, and what he wants is a fresh approach to leadership.

You know, Laycock is hugely respected.

No one doubts his fighting spirit and the fact that he's been the backbone of the regiment, but everyone's a bit scared of him.

And Christofferson wants to shape his command of the regiment in a much more accessible way, which is much more suited to the times with these young guys like David Render arriving, age 19, and

Stuart Hill's also 19.

You know, he wants to be a bit more avuncular.

And consensual.

And consensual.

He wants to absolutely impose his authority, which is, you know, he just has a natural authority.

People just jump when he says jump.

He wants a sort of more collegiate, softer kind of...

more caring approach to his men, more approachable.
