He looks like Charlie Ashmore, who was in training with me in 63'. He had brief spells in Royals MT, Band and Offrs Mess, before being discharged. Last saw him about 30 odd years ago, when he was living rough underneath the arches at Charing Cross.
Remember that old song "underneath the arches".Think it was Flanagan and Allen who sang it(not Royals though)Maybe it was the theme song of 1st Troop????? --------- Don
