RoyalTournament.org
The RoyalTournament.org web site is part of a project to keep alive the traditions of the Royal Tournament which was the first, oldest and biggest Military Tattoo in the World until its demise in 1999.
Interest in the Royal Tournament has recently been revived; on 19th May 2008 the Ministry of Defence published the Report of Inquiry into: National Recognition of our Armed Forces.
With this in mind, we have re-launched the RoyalTournament.org web site with two main aims:
1. To provide information on the Royal Tournament and keep the traditions alive
2. To encourage people to show their support for the Royal Tournament by joining our mailing list*
*The mailing list will be used for the purposes of keeping people informed of progress on the project. Information will not be given to any third parties. We will publish the number of people that have signed up to show their support.
Cheers

MilitaryTattoo

Jim Cowie:
as in, a single, immense work of body art, so large that it exists across the bodies of tens of thousands of military men. multiple generations of british soldiers, each bearing a small piece of the complete work

a Tattoo is a military drum performance. the term comes from Dutch, somehow (i'm not an etemologist, so i have no clue how it comes from Dutch). best one (in my opinion) is the Edinburgh Military Tattoo.
todd:
weird. i wasn't able to source that definition in any of the online dictionaries i looked at. i need better online dictionaries, clearly.
