When I joined the regiment in June 65 (transferring from 10 Coy RASC ) Bob Sproats took me to MT Tp lines to find me a bed space and a Spud Murphy was about to go on leave and said I could take his as he wouldn't be back for a couple of months. He was a big b....r too.
Yes I did know blondie and Jock O Kane & Paddy Curran I shared a room with Big Billy Allison (ex 17/21st Lancer) he was a really great bloke he run HQ Sqn's bar (Hotel Quebec). Norman Thorpe was my Tp SSGT. Peter the Kraut tho' is a new one on me
Is that ex MT Troop Spud Murphy?

ReplyDeleteJust remembered Joe Bosher was the troop 3 bar. Capt Kieghley was MTO followed by Capt Fingers Fletcher and then Capt Edwards.
