Welcome back to the Colours Sir,

The Coalition forces are in desperate need of officers of your proven ability.

Helga, something fitting for the good Field Marshal to slake his thirst.

Welcome to the Allied Mess Ed, rum and claret orders have been increased accordingly. Great to have another officer put appropriate strain on the Quartermasters Stores :)
