| Unclevanya, Can only talk about 11 Sigs 1968-72 then left the Army. Great memories of Helles Barracks. Didn't do to much pub cruising as I had the family with me. Remember the ranges at Warcop, the flooding of camp centre, BMH where our youngest was born and my demob in 1972. Jimsigs1 | |

| The Corporal's mess, Helles Lines - I seem to remember that it was a temporary building at the back gate to Helles Lines. I can remember often after a heavy 'Beer O' Clock' session, climbing over the back fence and staggering along dark paths at night to the then Depot Troop Lines near the Old Baghdad Gym. many a time I fell over and landed in a ditch to turn up at the accommodations looking like a tramp. Hmm! Happy days or not..... Not really. it was the hangovers I couldn't hack, and having to be back on parade the following morning. Yuck!! | |
