Boys Training School RAOC in 1952
written by Robert Walker
 After joining the RAOC Boys Training School at Haslar Barracks in 1951 I found myself engaged in perfomances of the Toy Soldier Display. We performed at venues around the country for various service events, places like, Fratton Park,(Portsmouth) Earls Court (Royal Tournament) El Alimein Reunion (8th Army)at Alexandra Palace,Aldershot, and numerous other venues.
Part of our routines can be found at http://www.britishpathe.com under RAOC. It was an enjoyable experience, after 2.5 years we moved on to our main units as fully trained soldiers, with a trade and good prospects for promotion. If any one remembers those halcyon days I would be pleased to hear from them. |

There is nothing worse than breaking down. But if you do, the RAC have more than 1,500 patrols ready to rescue you, whether you are at the shops or on the motorway. They will always try to fix your vehicle at the roadside, but if they cant they will make getting it repaired as painless as possible.
