I don't know, it's just shocking.The Brother in 1966 with father's beer glass. Personally, I didn't acquire a taste for ale until I was in my 20's, but it looks like he started much earlier.And I'll finish off this batch with this one of The Brother, from 1968. He looks happy enough here, but little does he know what joys would lie in wait later in that same year, when I arrive!...

"A" Company Sports Day

These shots are from the 16th May 1958, at the "A" Company sports day at Arborfield. The mandatory Tug O War, 5 Platoon. Quartermaster Wells in the long jump. "Keith" in the high jump. Is it just me, or is he going to have to be very careful about his landing in order to avoid it being really painful/dangerous? I've never seen anyone doing the high jump with a head-first dive before... Sgts Williams and Clarke, at what is presumably the refreshment area. More of that infernal Watneys!...
