| Whilst sorting out an old box of bits-n-bobs I came across this old Post Card That I bought back in 1957, whilst in my Transit Camp in Arborfield,Dorset, awaiting my posting to BAOR. I remember playing darts there, and being rather tall, "Double Top" attempts often ended up in the ceiling.  | |

| Known to all REME who have passed through Poperinghe or Rowcroft Barracks. Most of us enjoyed our very first pint here on joining the army,and our last pint on leaving. The Brams. |

| After thinking about it for a while the cranial cobwebs have cleared and I seem to remember being told by the prorieter that a murder was committed either in there, or nearby at some time in the past. Seem to remember that the beer was a bit weak to my taste (Moorlands, I think, I was an Ansells man) hope that wasn't the reason! | |

| Thanks for that, jim.
At least the old brain box didn't let me down completely. It was, after all a 53 year old memory, (Get thee behind me, senility!) | |
