I never did ask him where I was supposed to get the manpower from to dean the camp. Maybe he was testing my initiative, or did he mean for me to sweep the camp myself, I was put in charge of a platoon. My Corporals were Bill Cliff and Jack Jones, two fine upstanding men. Strangely enough, Bill Cliff was one of my instructors at the Guards Depot in 1950. Jack Jones was ex-Welsh Regiment. He demanded a very high standard of the platoon and he got it. There was an incredibly fine looking coloured lad in that first platoon, whom I shall call Thompson. He stood well over six feet, with the physique of an athlete. When he smiled his perfectly straight teeth sparkled. There were several periods of hygene on the training programme, and this particular morn- ing I decided to talk about " Care of the Teeth," After stressing Privates ..,-,. M. J, Burrows ...

( laid it on thick and to conclude, on the basis that one picture is worth a thousand words, I called Thompson out to the front, where he stood facing the class, slightly behind me. "Thompson," I said. " Show them your teeth. Show them what clean teeth are like," There was a slight pause before the room broke into uproar. I turned and there stood Thompson, holding his beautiful smile aloft in his hand! Senior ranks in the Brigade of Guards are allowed to wear their hats and belts in the Mess. How many drinks did I have to buy and how many times did I incur the wrath of the RSM by forgetting to take off my belt and hat. However, the three months passed and I was duly rebadged to the horror of quite a few members of the permanent staff. [ enjoyed my time at the Training Battalion at Blackdown— we worked hard, but we played and laughed hard as well—and there were some wonderful personalities there! CLEWBOROUGH HOUSE PREPARATORY SCHOOL Camberley, Surrey Telephone: CAMBERLEY 64799 An in dependent Day Preparatory School for Boys and Girls Aged 3\ Principal: Lt. Col. 0. A. R. Clark Member of f.A.P.S. and LS.AJ. years to 14 years. The academic aim of the School is to prepare children for the Common Entrance Examination, and entrance to all Senior schools. Classes are kept small in order that individual attention can be given to each child, No class exceeds sixteen children, The grounds of just over two acres, include a football field, hard play- ground with tennis/netball court, an adventure playground, and a heated outdoor swimming pool. The School is only five minutes drive from Deepcut, and very con- venient for those stationed at the RAO.C. Training Centre. The Principal who is an ex Regular R.A.O.C. Officer, naturally extends a special welcome to children of R.A.O.C. families. Children in the Upper School are encouraged to join the Drama, Art and Music Societies, which meet after normal school hours. The School has its own Cub Scout and Brownie Guide Packs. We believe at Clewborough House that the development of the child must include preparation in good manners, courtesy to others, and self discipline. We have taken as our motto 'Work hard, Play hard' and we encourage the children accordingly, Further details may be obtained from the Principal. L — 196 |
