ASSOCIATION NEWS Birmingham Branch Stall Sergeant Pete Wade receives his Long Service and Good Conduct Medal in Belize. say farewell to WOl Major, Sergeants Lindsey and Miller, Corporals Beech and Watts, Lance Corporals Devine and Till- man and Private Purves, We congratulate Private Horan on his promotion (a Lance Corporal. WE often hear that we live in a small world, A short time ago some of our members and their ladies attended the annual dinner of the Federation of Birmingham Ex-Service Associations, One of the guests was their newly appointed Honorary Chaplain the Reverend Leslie Brolherton, Vicar of St Annes C of E Church, Moseley. When our Vice-Chairman, George Bennett and he caught sight of each other it was instant recognition although it was the first time that they had met since serving together in 5 BOD during the second world war. What a pleasant surprise reunion it was for them and how fitting that it should take place in the Captain Wilkinson Room of s the Birmingham United Services Club. [ understand that Les Brotherton was no mean sportsman of the Corps. He finished his service with the rank of WOl, Sub-Conductor and then returned to his job as an accountant before he joined the Church. 1 liked the fact that he said that if ever he could help our branch in any way or could be of any assistance to any individual member he would be only too glad to do all that he possibly could. If anyone should ever visit St Annes do make yourself known to him he will be pleased to meet you. I have visited Arthur Vick and he is getting on fine especially now that he can go out and about a little, CORPS SHO PUTTING ON THE STYLE Photo Private Trevor NG SMALL BORE RowelL Members of the recently Disbanded RAOC Regimental Information Team with Olympic Shot Putter Jefl Capes at the 1981 Manchester Motor Show, Left to right: Jeff Capes, Lance Corporal Kathy Cobb and Private Cxapski. FOLLOW THAT CAR AT the Army manoeuvres near Warsaw last year, trial was made of a new kind of armoured car, provided with cylindrical reservoirs and upright funnelled tubes for the outlet of smoke* The car discharged a compressed form of gas, which expanded into dense clouds, so forming a thick curtain before the infantry behind, and enabling it to advance well screened from the enemy's view. 1925.
