Hi Ernie
I should have seen Dave Rennie, (poor eyesight)I was one of his sec/comds. back then.Do you remember when the R.S.M. had him escorted off Bn.parade?Boy was he pissed.Also Brigadier Roger Rowley,how could I forget?Wasn,t it Roger that made us do the Brigadier,s annual inspection over because Moses (hut orderly H.Q.Coy)stuffed all mops and cleaning crap in a locker and when Roger wanted to see inside the locker.he dam near got killed in an avalanche of shitty old mops etc.I know'every man in the Bn. could have killed Moses,but we all couldn,t stop laughing.
cheers Al
