I remember my first leave from Catterick it was bloody freezing so i put on my longJohns and No twos, thumed a lift to the A1, and got a lift in a MG SPORTS CAR to London about a 1/4 mile from my house,so desided to walk the last bit home in uniform,only to find out when i got home the legs on my longJohns had slipped down past the leg of my troweres I must av looked a right twit. Yes i know what i should have done, but it was the 1st time i"de worn them
Think I will just say - "mine was in 1947" - from APTC Bodmin,Cornwall!Thats where they whipped you into shape and if you made it off you went to Tng Regt! ---- Don
