that was the time when the SQMS of Asqdn took over the Laundry contract to help finance his radio ham activitys ( he the one who wears a Bowler hat these days ) Only a joke "Q" sorry Sir !! it was taken from A sqdn office at Ipoh , Frank
"get ur hair cut". Is that why you've got a question mark at the back of your mugshot now Frank? Don't stand for it, there's a new law against being bullied now mate! Anyway, as for "where was this taken" & "i cant place it". The AKC Cinema Ipoh (recent photos) was where the band made a number of recordings from in 1961, not least Lerner & Loewe's "Gigi ". As I recall there was an officer in the regiment who had a good ear for music and who had just purchased a brand new up-to-date Grundig tape recorder. Now this officer may well be Mr James Hamilton-Russell? I don't know, but what I do know is that this officer also had a double-barrelled name? So we now not only have pictures to remind us of Ipoh but also 'authentic' music to go with them too! Enjoy.
