Do I get a swagger-stick? I imagine a nice brass pomell would be desireable for the next bar brawl.

Nah, you get to carry the colours--but pray leave them outside when you enter the tavern with the intention of starting a brawl. [:0]

I'll fold up the colors and keep them safe. But the staff! That's a weapon! I can conk some "Modern Major General" on the head and string his pantaloons up the flagstaff.

Hey, I hope you don't intend to fight your own superiors! That's a court-martial offence. [}:)]

The rebels have no major-generals, Ensign ... only we have them. [:0]

They have one brigadier-general though, so if you want to offer him some whipping you'll have my blessing. [:p]

I see. That'll teach me to check the roster more often. Well I'll string his shirts up my pole after I've knocked his head off.
