l 8 - MULCAHY PLATOON. By J/Pte ARATHOON This term has been a cruel mixture of joy and disappointment. Taking worst things first, we did not retain the trophy for the C.O's Barrack Room Competition. In fact, we were only seventh. However, at sport, we have progressed admirably. We won the Company Athletics, as well as the trophy for a new competition . - Small Side Sports. As far as Battalion Athletics are concerned, we are well favoured for the title. . Quite a few members of the Platoon represented the Battalion at Athletics. Prominent among these was J/Tte LEITCH who won the Southern Command One Mile title. Other team members included:- J/L/Cpl HOLHCYD, J/Tte BUDD and J/Pte HARRAP. Other lads in the platoon who represented the Battalion were:— J/L/Cpl JONES — Cricket. J/Pte HARRAP - Cricket. J/Fte FODGETTS — Cricket. J/?te PAIN - Swimming. I/Pte DEVERELL — Swimming. and Iyself at Tennis. One boy managed to get himself on television J/Pte EELES was interviewed for Belgian T.V. and he spoke in French. Several other lads took part in a recruiting film. Summer Camp was a great success with everyone who attended. We worked and played in some beautiful countryside with good weather to match. A new thing to Summer Camp was the issue of Radio sets to each section. This was a great advantage as it allowed the CC to call up any section, at any time to know the whereabouts of them. It made it less boring for the sections on their long march from checkpoint to checkpoint. This term we loss from our strength the following:- J/Sgt ROGERS. , J/Cpl WOODS. J/Cpl EINDARD. J/L/Cpl HOBBINS. J/L/Cpl MCCARTHY. J/Pte DEVERELL. J/Pte HARRAF. J / I’te LANE . And myself. To take their place, we shall welcome to our next a mere fifteen recruits. ROLL ON NEXT TERM as we say Goodbye. ——————.-— |
