When I was at basic training at Kempston Barracks Bedford we had a lad with a double barreled name , highly educated and had been brought up by his mother and sister with very little male contact .We were on the bayonet course for first time. He went up to target and gently poked it ,the instructor screamed at him put some muscle in it lad.He turned to the instructor and said I simply can't do this Sgt its inhumam.The lads fell about and the Sgt was speechless.His other talent was marching with both arms swinging together. Last I saw of him he was off to a W.O.S.B. Bob
