You're being a bit optimistic if you think our officers and men, or their children, speak fluent German, AOG. They are British and proud of it.Learning a foreign language is not British. When I was went over to do court martials there it was most gratifying that I only ever met one officer who could speak passable German. The rest knew enough to order a beer when out. (The Queen's Own Hussars' officers knew more. They could tell the German, staff to heave another enormous log on to the fire!).
The life out there is good for all of them. Some very much so..
And the old cavalry regiments, at least, do have a certain lifestyle, for some. The officers in one spent much of the time discussing the obtaining of polo ponies from Argentina and another;s sent a convoy to Rheims to collect the Regimental Champagne from the makers (It comes in pint bottles, dontcha know. Regimental tradition and all that )
