When the ACC school came to Glamorgan Barracks in Duisburg , we thought the food, which was pretty poor, would improve but no way - often it was worse! It all depended on which course was providing it and it would always improve for a few days every few weeks when there were trade tests being held. Very occasionally we would be treated to a superb lunch or tea and that would be at the end of what I think they called a master cooks' course
Their SSM was a brilliant (of course) RASC bloke whose name I believe was Johnstone - very interested in football and used to referee a lot.

My experience of the ACC in Duisburg was rather different.

We arrived there in Dec 61 together with our own ACC cooks who were pretty good at warming up Compo and making Rissoles which were despised then but now, known as Burgers are much prized. Immediately upon arrival these worthies were consigned by the smart keen and brisk ACC instructors who presided to dishwashing duties and trade training. We humble eaters thought we had entered ACC Heaven, enjoying better fare in the early sixties any of had ever imagined.

A lot different to when they arrived in 1953/4 .

Looking for Gregg dunn ACC...1979-81....
