Detmold-Band of 9th Lancers- Isla in 1954
written by william denis haydock
 Isla Aule, 15 years of age, worked in the NAFFI - black hair - full of life.
She was a very good friend to me - we grew very fond of each other during my time in Detmold, Germany, BAOR 15.I was a very young eighteen year old doing my National Service.
Last saw her at the gates of Lothian Barracks as I was leaving in a three ton lorry for the UK and demob.She was standing beside her bicycle with low slung handlebars. I knew she was genuinely fond of me as I was of her.I still have a letter from her dated September 1954 - it is in the form of a poem which I had translated in the late eighties - the translation revealed it to have been written as it really was by a teenage girl. We were just a couple of kids having a nice time. I hope life treated her well. |
