I joined the Army in the Royal Corps of Signals as a boy soldier on 16th April 1970. Shortly after a selection course at the Army Apprentices College in Harrogate I was sent to the Junior Tradesmens Regiment (Rhyl) at Kinmel Park Camp. |
After the basic training in Cambrian Company I joined Imphal Platoon in A Company to train as a Radio Operator. |
I was a member of the winning team of the AAJLR race in 1971 before going into the Regular Army at Catterick Camp at the age of 17 1/2 years. |
I have since lost the little silver medal we all received but thankfully it wasn't the last trophy I ever won. |
I left the Army as a Sergeant on Xmas Day 1993 after a long service in Germany, Falkland Islands and Gulf War. |
If there are any other blokes out there that served at Kinmel Park Camp from April 1970 until July 1971 please get in touch. Some of the blokes I remember from that time were; |
Lt Jones RAEC SSgt Rose RMP Sgt Haddock R Irish Rangers Sgt Choke RCT J/Dvr Zephryn Renee J/Drum Major Spike Masters J/Engr Paul Buckle |
