BAKER PLATOON.
By Capt A. JAMIESON.
From Sir,
We say farewell to five of the Platoon this term, They
could probably be called the "last of the Few". Dear KEEGAN
or "Muscles" - Jack of all Trades, border of surplus kit; at
last, he becomes a memory, and what a menory 1 It will be very
difficult to forget the trio of Leonard, Flynn and Keegan at the
Coy Talent Show. Jones with the three three's, always witty
(twitty) with his mind constantly on the downfalls of alcohol ??
Coulbcck, an Army Junior Tennis Champion and he did it
entirely or NAAFI's Egg and Chips 1 Robinson, the brainy clerk
and finally Tolloy who has been pitting his wits against brainy
recruits for all this term.
On behalf of the Platoon, I wish them the best of luck for
the future and hope that they will keep in contact as much as
possible.
That man - Sgt PAGE. He just cannot be kept away 2 I
thought we had said our farewells at the beginning of this term,
but up he popped again to take the Plz.oon through the last three
weeks of term. He is going, I assure you, and this is
definately going to happen when he is escorted to the plane
leaving for Singapore on September 7th this year. On behalf
of not only the llatoon but the Commany, I would like to thank
him for the tremendous work he has done in this Battalion, we
shall certainly miss him. The best of luck to you, Sgt PAGE,
now you can relax a little.
I will be leaving the Platoon before the next news letter
is written and I would like to say that apart from a few stomach
ulcers and going slightly grey haired, I have enjoyed my work
immensley, thanks largely due to the backing of a fine Platoon.

Last Summer, while I was in Ireland, I received a letter
from a mad Irishman, it said. "Dear Pvt, I will meet you a
the corner at seven. If I as there first I will chalk 3 mar
on the wall. If you are there first, you can rub it off.
