If I made the rules in Britain, I'd have several Companies just marching around the countryside in WW2 kit with Lee-Enfields & pipe bands just for the tourists. Correction, make that WWI kit since it's the centennial and all. I think I'd make everybody that graduated boot camp do it for a whole month after graduation just to get them "feeling" British.
