What year was it taken?. I dont know his name but he is a scruffy man as his belt is crooked. He deserves to run up to Hakedahl and back to the guard room 30 times. Mind you we can excuse him if he was in A sqdn. They were all like that.If we know what year I have the names of all in A sqdn.in 65/66/67/69.
In defence of A Sqn . This man was obviously just stopped marching to pose as you do when you get to wear the UNIFORM . photo taken with a look of pride and happiness . Looks better than Chinney Harris did on the G.O.C. parade Tidworth 1963 he was D.I.C. of a saber and the GOC went and complimented him , "you did not move onece the whole time" He said no because he was still under the influence , from when Smudge and I picked him off the Platform in Salisbury .
I was one of the guard of honour in that uniform when the commanding officer at the time left the regiment. if my memory serves me it was PD reid. I have my copy but o do not recognise the guy in the photo.
continue; so he never had a copy ,so if any one knows of his whereabouts I can send him a copy
