| [b][i] Barracks in Berlin I served there from 1964 until 1966: Prior to that I was in Sarawak and Bushfield Camp near Winchester! Later know as Greenjackets and Royal Greenjackets(now 4th Rifles) my Bn was the first Bn. 43rd & 52nd; oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry. I would be interested in reading stories of those that were in Berlin Bde., at the same period in history! I served in Sp. Coy: Enough for the present moment, snaijper(it's in the noun)   | |

| Greetings snaijper,
You don't give your age but would you be of the No 4 (T) or L42A1 persuasion ?

| Blimey snaijper, that's SOME CV, I can see we'll have to watch our P's & Q's from now on !
I did a course at Sennelager on the L42, all ready for a tour in Andersonstown, then they took it off me because they'd found that the 19 ton bolt was cracking. Much lamentation.
When I got to Ireland I took over a beautiful No4 (T) and was the envy of everybody!
Looking at your collection, in this country I could go to jail just for thinking about stuff like that.
Furthermore, I could go to jail for calling someone a Raghead, even though they are our enemy !! Bleedin' Ragheads. | |
