Yeomanry Career
Commissioned on 26 May 1966 as a Second Lieutenant into the Fife and Forfar Yeomanry/Scottish Horse, Gilmour became the fourth generation of his family to serve in this regiment.
Rising to Captain he saw the regiment turned into a cadre with its armoured vehicles removed and its pay stopped. This continued until he finished his service as a Captain when his regiment was put into suspended animation. In 1992 his regiment were reactivated and in 1999 he gained the rank of Honorary Colonel.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“The problem, thus, is not whether or not women are to combine marriage and motherhood with work or career but how they are to do so—concomitantly in a two-role continuous pattern or sequentially in a pattern involving job or career discontinuities.”
—Jessie Bernard (20th century)
