Okay, I have a question for the rabble...
Is there really any truth to the tale that "regimental" came about from the Sergeants having a walking/pace stick with a mirror attached where they could see if the jock was properly (un)dressed?
I have heard or read this tale oft repeated, and yet those who I've known in the past that served in Scots regiments cannot verify this happening to them while in service. Is there any truth to this story?
