Before I begin sharing information about the service of the BRF in the armed forces, I want to take a moment to thank both current, and past, servicemen and women who work tirelessly to keep the people of the UK, or whichever country they serve, safe and protectedhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎖" title="Militärmedaille" aria-label="Emoji: Militärmedaille">

The close relationship between the monarchy and the armed forces goes back for centuries, and in the interest of keeping this thread from being too long, I will only be focusing on the involvement of Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh and their descendants https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👑" title="Krone" aria-label="Emoji: Krone">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇬🇧" title="Flagge des Vereinigten Königreiches" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge des Vereinigten Königreiches">
