ahhh Brasso !! As a person who served in the Danish Queen's Guard I've had my fair share of experience with that, we didn't have to use it as much as it was only part of our sheathe that was made of brass. But we did use a lot of something called "kiwi" to shine our boots, sheathe and bag, man it took 100's if not a 1000 hours to polish to a suitable level in the beginning and then it had to be maintained before each guard duty every three days (where i'd spend around 6 hours on all three pieces), never again !! :D

The NCO's I had who had been in Afghanistan also always spoke highly of the British Army, and as a person who is half British and had a father who served in the British Navy during the Gulf War it always makes me happy to hear when the Brits get recognition. The boots were difficult because the kiwi would crack if you made the slightest mistake and then you could start all over, as i said. never again :P !
