My brother was a 'snowdrop' more correctly known as a Royal Air Force policeman, so I presumed that the sentry on the main gate to the RAF base would know him.

Unfortunately, the message was intercepted by a couple of Snowdrops (RAF Police), who would normally have ignored such a mistake – but not when it came from a guard commander!
