I am trying to help a good friend retrired bootneck find proof of service overseas in order to submit an application for bars to his GSM, which has the Southern Arabia bar currently. I have his Form R141 Company Record Book and his Certificate of Service but they only list his dates and which Commando units he belonged to. The medals office have no other records and have asked if he can provide any further proof. I thought that if I could tie in his dates and Commando Units with their locations from historical data it may help. He served in Aden, Singapore and Malaya between 1962 and 1968 with 41, 42, 43 and 45 Commando. If anyone has any advice or information I would appreciate it as he is now into his 80s and is so proud to have been part or this elite unit.

I’m remodeling my living room and want to replace the old carpet with something more stylish—definitely thinking of wood flooring. The problem is, there are so many types, and I have no idea which one would suit a modern interior while still being easy to maintain. I also have pets, so it needs to be scratch-resistant. Does anyone here have experience with wood floors and could share some insights?

Hey everyone, I recently bought a high-end suit that fits me well, but I feel like the sleeves could be a bit shorter, and the waist could be taken in slightly. I’ve never taken a luxury suit for alterations before, and I’m a little nervous about it. I know that a bad tailor can completely ruin the structure of a designer suit, so I really want to find the right professional for the job. How do you guys choose a tailor for high-end brand alterations? Are there any specific things I should ask or look out for before handing over my suit?
