Academy's 200 years

BEFORE the Napoleonic wars, if you wanted to be an army officer you would normally be expected to pay for a place. This may seem strange until one is reminded that apprentices in crafts also had to pay for their apprenticeship. Ironically Wellington had to learn his trade in a military academy in France in 1784 before enrolling but there were plenty of chinless wonders who were bought places in the army without training. Disasters early in the Napoleonic wars showed the need for proper training so the Royal Military College, as it was known, was founded in 1799 based in High Wycombe, no less! In 1802 it moved to Marlow and in 1812 to its present site near Bagshot. I am wondering if there will be moves to celebrate the bicentenary in Wycombe next year given that it was inaugurated there. It might be a nice idea for commemorative stamps to be issued (printed in Wycombe, of course). Do you also think it would be worthwhile reminding the Postmaster General of the bicentenary and suggesting one stamp could represent the High Wycombe connection, possibly the uniform of the first cadets there, another the change to Marlow and another Sandhurst?
