good photo's John. You are front row, right on both those football pic's. At the Training depot you are middle, 3rd row. Front right on the parade which I remember. In the Cpl's mess you are the one with the wig and there is a very young John Mathews behind the knock & enter sign. TIS
This brought back the memory of this parade when the BIM was on the Salute Dias with L/Cpl Joe (Baffs ) Taylor at the end of the Parade he said about Joe's length of service and the Gurkha's wanting their Khukirs back crossing his arms , must have been the pair on the Gurkha Transport Corps Notice board
I can help with front row Ray Thornton, , Spud Lewis, Neville Woods, RQMS Ayrton, later QM(T) and QM, Bill Hearn and myself. But I cannot remember any of the lads names on the back row.
