I then went over to No2 area QM and into the armoury. with Gordy Sands Frank Tucker. What happen to Reg Hill ? and his mate gordy kidman.

Hi Timm
Well there is a blast of names that I never thought I would hear or see again, some taught me in early 74 and then I worked with some from 76-77 as I was resident PTI with I believe Steve Harris and later Chip Rafferty
Thanks for the memory

Title: Reg Hill - The Legend
Post by: Anonymous on April 18, 2006, 05:23:28 PM

Reg Hill (affectionately or cruelly, remembered by many, as "Egg on Legs") was a brilliant trainer and soldier. He was the archetypal Sergeant, the man who screamed in your ear at point blank range, and took no sh*t from no man. An ex Airborne (and proud of it) man, he taught me to soldier during the mid 1970s. And taught me well.

He was a fair, strict, decent man, who must surely be remembered throughout the old Corps, and by anyone priviliged to have known him.

I heard he became a Probation Officer, good luck to the bloke.

1975 dunkirk platoon sergeant was Chris Mahoney ably assisted by Cpl Hankins (two decent guys)
PTI was S/Sgt "Bernie the bully" Burniston. I have a hole between my back cheeks that reminds me of him  :evil:  :twisted:
