_ + _ By J/Ete REEs—fiILLIAES: As the term draws to an end I think we can sum up by saying that it has Been a pleasant interesting term. Unfortunately we were without our Platoon Commander, Lt BROWN, for almost three weeks following a car accident in which he and Capt R.3. HUMPHRIES were injured. I am pleased to report that Lr BROWN is now almost fully recovered and Capt HUMPHRIES, thhough still in hospital is making a speedy recovery and will be out shortly. _ Shortly after the beginning of term we had the promotions: J/Ptes' TULLITTi lUIBROOEE, BLACIWELL, YARLETT all became J/L/Cpls'. Unfortunately J/I/Cpl YARLETT had to leave us and take charge of Recruit blocks. J/I/Cnls‘ BEALES and FLATMAN were both made up to J/Cpls', and J/Cpl O'SHEA was given his third strip! making his J/Sgt. J/Cpl BEALES and J/Cpl FLATMAN did this Platoon a great credit by rrpresenting the dattalion in the Junior Army Shoot at BISLEY. Cur sincere congratulations go to J/Cpl FLATMAN who became individual Small Bore Champion, and to J/Cpl BEALES who helped the team a grea. deal by winning the "Falling Plate" shoot. This Eerms camp was an area in which the Battalion had never been before. The first week of camp was spent at Devils’ Bridge which is heir lBZRYSTWYTH The exercise at Devils'gBridge included a consideraOle amount of map reading. 'During that week ‘” J/Cpl 31A: it's section took a wrong bearing and spent the night in the cheapest of hotels, but unfortunately they were unable to get any sleep a: there was a constant "flushing" of water. The second week was spent at CASTLE-MARTIN. This proved to be a most enjoyable week for all involved. The week insluded many interesting visits. One such visit to the very modern "Regent Oil Refinery” which is situated on the Haven. Other visits included a very interesting visit to a German Cargo Ship which was unloading various types of German Army Vehicles. 3 Our sporting activities this term have been highly successful. In the Small—side sports competition we were narrowly beaten by Mulcshy Pl in the final, which gave us second place. J/Sgt O'SHEA gym/Cpl BLACHWELL and J/Pte ELLAR represented the Battalion at Athletics. Bethen them they gained seven medals and cups, and of course all thrLc have gained their colours. Leaving us this term will be J/Sgt O'SHEA, J/L/Cpl BLACKVELL and J/L/Cpl YARLETT. Is all Wish them every success in their careers in Lane dcrtice. Well I muSC finish tow b? saying that we all look forward to next term and doing our best t: mate Gordon Platoon Champion House. My old gran went to the dentist last week. You know what 1 She had all if her teech out and then the next day, had a new fire place put in. |
