Utringue Paratus

English translation (from Latin) of pic's title is "Ready for Anything" and is the official motto of the British Army's Parachute Regiment.

The Paratrooper veterans seen above were attending Liverpool's Remembrance Sunday 2017 service @ the city's St George's Hall

 

Two of my younger brothers proudly served as Paras (paratroopers) and believe me, their regiment's motto could NOT be more apt.

My brothers (and the rest of their regimental comrades) HAD to be ready for ANYthing and they WERE, and their regiment still IS.

**Take my tip and never mess with these men ; not even the older looking ones.
