| Somewhere along the line, there has been a bit of confusion.
Trenchard Barracks has 1st Royal Anglian listed as being there 1956 to 1958.
The only thing is, the Royal Anglian title did not come into being until 1964. Looking at the forebears of the Regiment, I can find none that would have been there during that period!
Help please, anyone have any memories??
