I would like to congratulate Keith Petvin-Scudamore
on producing this website featuring The Somerset & Cornwall Light
Infantry (SCLI).
The wonders of modern technology allow us to record publicly our
favourite stories about the time we served in that splendid Regiment.
We should take advantage of this as our regimental predecessors were
not as fortunate as us, and did not have the amazing facilites which
many of us take for granted.
It was sufficiently long ago for us to be able to recall, without
embarassment, our personal thoughts and sentiments. Having said that,
I'm sure that nobody would wish to recall stories which would upset
or hurt the feelings of any individual. That would not be within the
spirit of our Regiment.
May I urge all those that have served in the SCLI, in whatever capacity,
to use this website. It does not matter whether you served two years
National Service or whether you served a full period as a Regular
soldier. Everybody will have stories to tell and instances to recall,
whether good or bad!
Let's all go for a trip down memory lane!
Alastair Fyfe.
