Much-loved Royal Welsh regimental goat Taffy dies

I would have to check Taffy each night, ensuring that he was in good health and spirit. Occasionally he would trigger his own goat ambush on an unsuspecting new officer during these checks, much to everyone’s amusement, but for the most time he behaved himself. As I recall he preferred to listen to BBC Radio Two while relaxing in his pen.

We all honour his passing with respect for a well disciplined and loyal Regimental Mascot.

The Regiment is fortunate enough to have a second Regimental Mascot, Shenkin, who will now be the only goat marching during the Royal Parade in Cardiff on June 11.
