I can- not remember who got the runs, but we won—much to our delight. The second was against the Medics, when our bowlers could not make any impression against their opening bats. Our Skipper (Major General L. L. Hoare), took the ball and bowled underarm lobs. He pitched one well on the leg and the bats- man ignored it. To his surprise he was bowled round his legs. This was the first time that I had kept wicket to an underarm bowler and I found it a most difficult task. The third memory was the last game in 1939 against the RASC at Hilsea. We started badly but the fifth or sixth stand put on one hundred and fifty odd, and Corporal Angel collected a very useful century, which put us well on our feel again. I think we won. Corps cricket started again after the war under the guidance of Colonel Alan Parnaby. I played in one game only—old age had caught up with me. This was against the Royal Corps of Signals at Calterick, incidentally the only Corps side that I had not played against pre-war. Reference to the score book will reveal an interesting incident. Signalman Brian Close caught behind the stumps—bowled by Captain Castle and if I remember correctly his score was nil! When I left the Corps for good in 1954, the DOS was kind enough to send me ; a letter, together with a Corps cap. It is a very proud and treasured possession. Good luck to the youngsters who represent the Corps now and in the future.
