Reminiscences of Bob Cash | ||
Remember The Troubles | ||
In 'R' Company, the OC was a Major in the Hampshire Regiment we also had two sergeants, O'Connor from the Queens Royal Irish Hussars and Wright from the Queens Own Hussars. Our Troop commander was a 2lt. Mitchell (Royal Signals) who was followed by a 2lt. Edwards (Royal Signals). | ||
When we left 'R' Company we formed Ypres Troop. | ||
Do you remember the YMCA being set on fire about October 1959? Or the mass breakout of Omndermon Platoon? | ||
One guy I remember in 'R' Company was called Martin Youlett, he had been back-squaded from the previous intake. O'Conner was a bit of a bastard and I remember him making Youlett slow march with his mouth open right onto the end of his pace stick. He was also a great believer in mass punishment, if he could not get the individual to own up then everyone was punished. Because of this we suffered a lot. | ||
Of the permanent staff I remember Capt. Pitkin (R.Sigs) in charge of the photography club. |
