EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this nostalgic print from 1967, we witness the anticipation and charm of a bygone era. The Royal Welch Fusiliers at Caerphilly Castle are seen waiting eagerly to partake in their grand display. However, amidst the excitement, an unexpected twist unfolds as their beloved regimental goat, Billy, decides it's time for a snack break. Unfazed by military protocol, Billy takes matters into his own hooves and starts an impromptu weeding service for Caerphilly Council. As the soldiers look on with amusement and admiration, Goat Major Donald Pugh from North Wales observes this comical scene unfold. This snapshot encapsulates not only the bond between animals and humans but also highlights the light-hearted spirit within our armed forces. Transporting us back to a time when mascots played an integral role in boosting morale amongst troops, this image serves as a reminder of British military traditions that have stood the test of time. It captures a moment where duty momentarily takes a backseat to humor and camaraderie. Preserved through Memory Lane Prints courtesy of Western Mail Archive, this photograph invites us to reflect upon simpler times while celebrating the unique connections forged between man and beast during moments of respite from duty.
