written by Don Knight
 March 1955 posted to CB Staff Troop HQRA 11 Armoured Div. Herford. Met up with Doug Buller, Mo Berry, Harry Houghton? Dennis Briggs, Jock Barr, Jock Sweeney Tony ? he took photo’s, Bombardier Jim ? we swam in the watertank at the rear of the block, Guy named Nash? badly burned his legs sun bathing. Had a cook called Lindsey? he damaged his meat and two veg with a local frauline. BSM Hobbs, Sargeant Sullivan, 2 Lt M. Nash. CO Capt. Roachrook. Easiest guard mounts I ever did. camp still on Google Earth. QMS was a drunken pratt used to fire his pistol from his vehicle when we went on manouvers. The camp on the other side of the main road housed the RMPs. If my memory serves me a number of them were killed on a Javelin Exercise when their truck overturned. Unchained Melody, Cherry Pink, and Blueberry Hill were tops on Radio Luxemburg. One of the best 6 months of my life |
