Following the Normandy landings by the 6th Airborne Divisional Signals on 6th June 1944, the commanding officer Lt. Col. 'Pygmy' Smallman-Tew encouraged each man to plait himself a lanyard from the camouflaged rigging lines from the parachutes still scattered over the DZ. The object of this was that every man would have a length of strong cord which might be useful should he be involved in any attempt to escape capture by the enemy. All the men followed his instruction and wore the lanyard. Some weeks after the landings the Lt.Col. was killed by a German mortar. The lanyard continued to be worn in respect of the extremely popular officer. And even then you cant look after them, you must remember the medic who had his SA80 removed from his possesion whilst travelling the 100 yds from central lines guard room to the front gate. In the war years that followed, the lanyard could be used as an emergency firing lanyard forthose guns which had a trigger mechanism, allowing the gunner to stand clear of the gun's recoil.

There has long been a tale about Gunners wearing a white lanyard for cowardice, allegedly for deserting their guns. Of course, this story is nothing more than a piece of leg pulling; the information that follows is historical facts. IIRC the lanyard worn by French soldiers was green (and red) for soldiers who belonged to a regiment, which as a whole had received the Croix de Guerre, and red for soldiers, whose regiment had received the Légion d'Honneur.

It would guarantee that no one would ever join it! And since no such evidence exists, your storys falls flat on their face. One might even ask why other arms and corps wear lanyards?

Ian - it does seem that very often the No 1 on the Lewis Gun wore a lanyard; but there are units where there were no Lewis Guns, and and still these are worn - so it is not clear cut. I think you'll find that Lanyards originated very much earlier than this and was not even anything to do with the artillery. The Lanyard was originally worn by cavalry attached to the sword so that if dropped while on their horse their only weapon wouldn't fall out of reach. On WW1 mobilisation all soldiers, infantry included, were issued with a lanyard for the clasp knife.The question of which shoulder bore the lanyard depends on the date. There is no certainty about this, but the change from the left shoulder to the right probably took place at about the time of the Great War, when a bandolier was introduced, because it was worn over the left shoulder. But there are some who insist that 1924 was the date of change, when sloping of rifles over the left shoulder would soil the white lanyard. There has long been a tale-usually told by Sappers-about the Gunners wearing a white lanyard for cowardice, allegedly for deserting their guns. Of course, the story is nothing more than a piece of leg pulling. The tradition of winding up stems from the age-old rivalry between the two sister corps founded under the Board of Ordnance and trained together in Woolwich. However, I am still being asked by ARRSE members whether this story is true, so it is time it was put to rest.
