"what size?" one asked. i said i didn't know. "doesn't matter, we've only got two sizes." i fell into the trap, "what are they?" "too big and too small." they roared with laughter, then the other asked "which do you want? significant events 1958-1967 year month event place notes 1958 july-aug annual camp weymouth (wyke regis) enlarging rn sports field (?) at portland sun 3rd aug uss nautilus at portland a "potential sapper" aged just under 16, attended as officers mess waiter. 1 2 1 1959 1960 annual camp ripon (ure bank camp) complaints of food led to sit-in in dining hall on third (?) day due to all (?) meals being mashed potato & grated cheese 3 1961 ? annual camp weymouth (wyke regis) 1962 ? annual camp penhale 1963 ta driving championship 101 regt team (by 222 sqn) 14th in ¼-ton class 5 1963 annual camp stirling floating bridge at loch venachar. demolitions at loch sunart. regt offrs visit dame flora mcleod at dunvegan castle, isle of skye. 7 1964 courage trophy maidstone to chelsea 222 sqn team 3rd out of 50 6 1964 ? annual camp halton nr lancaster) trp task (?) aerial crossing over river ribble. river flooded stranding troop. radio relay at morecombe bay 4 1965 ? annual camp germany (hameln) bridging on weser/weiser. 8 freedom of boro' of chelsea chelsea regt/sqn marched through chelsea with fixed bayonets 1966 april courage trophy 222 sqn team 7th out of 26 9 1966 annual camp penhale (nr newquay) 12 1967 april disbanded ta became tavr and much reduced. 11 back to top of page note source 12 antony green, e-mail mar 2014 back to top of page army 'witticisms' the one above is of course a classic. there were others. if anyone grumbled or complained, an nco would say "its all a question of mind over matter. we don't mind, and you don't matter." the first time is quite funny, but it gets a bit boring after a while. at duke of york's hq, chelsea apart from the occasions when we worked or trained strictly in our particular troops, such as at annual camps, much of the time we mixed together. a motley weekend vehicle maintenance crew at chelsea, 1960s. left to right: billy orford, george spain (at back), roy miles, peter cox & derek spain (at back), with "roy's" austin champ. back to top of page annual camp 1958, wyke regis, weymouth the drill team annual camp 1960, ure bank, rippon (?) ure bank camp was an re training camp (one of three in ripon, the others were deverell and claro). the site was in a curve of the river ure with the buildings (the usual wooden clad structures found in many military camps) on a bit of higher ground. the huts were probably built during ww2, and had at some stage during that war been used as a transit camp and as a pow camp (but probably not at the same time!) by the 1980s the army had vacated, the buildings demolished, and the site used as a caravan site. 3 troop (?), 222 fd sqn, from left to right: rear: s/sgt eric aldenton, cpl parr, spr ernie davies, spr terry beckwith, ?,cpl tepper, lt fordyce, spr john thomas, spr ?, spr ?, sgt walker. front: spr peter cox, spr ?, cpl fred billington, spr ?, spr finn/flynn, spr ?, spr ?. back to top of page the drill team duncan well-built, ex london scottish, nice baritone voice led sing-songs in many otherwise quiet pubs that we over-ran at weekends or camp, but just a little short of a sense of humour. channels irrespressible, great fun, owned about a dozen firearms, played boogie-woogie on the piano, allways an entertainer. came to chelsea to join-up wearing a bowler-hat & carrying a rolled umbrella looking every inch a gent. asked the first person he saw - duncan - to take him to the oc. duncan came to attention and with 'good evening sir, certainly sir, this way sir', led him upstairs. duncan was very miffed the next week to see a new sapper in the ranks. got his nick-name after being told by the ssm that if he wanted something, he shouldn't go to the oc, but must use the 'right channels' annual camp 1961 - wyke regis, weymouth (?) wyke regis or chickerell maybe? left to right: standing: terry beckwith (became a fireman and had to leave the ta), don't know, don't know, duncan (head only), "chanells", can't remember, david grey, sgt cliff saint, don't know. front: can
