Unsurprisingly Rollo has removed his post.

The one where he said the Welsh Guards went to war and won 11 VCs.
Where he posted a YouTube link to the film Zulu and said the Welsh Guards were not Chocolate Soldiers.

Aren't musicians usually medics?

Medics, or on support duties usually, but can (obviously) be on the front line.
Calling them 'chocolate soldiers' - particularly by someone who has never been in the services - is just plain ignorant! :-|

In Rollo’s defence, he didn’t actually say they Were Chocolate soldiers, but that they weren’t. Where he got the idea from is another question.

Acitually, I never bother to read Rollo's pontifications in any detail but I did glance at that one and it did not look to me like he said they were chocolate soldiers..

It really doesn't suit me to defend Rollo in any way but I have had people RR me and enter into knee-jerk arguments about things I have not said because they have not read my whole post.

Now I really must go and lie down.

Well, however his epistle was read - the fact that he removed speaks volumes.
