Title: The bulldozer (demolition of)
Post by: Anonymous on March 17, 2006, 07:26:38 AM

If I remember correctly it was Chris Hughes who got nicked (said he was helping with the demolition), he got six months borstal for his sins.  He did later return and was backsquadded, but continued his career.  There were three others who were charged over the affair, (I think Terry Reddings was one).   I remember the whole regiment being stood by their beds on that Saturday morning whilst all footware was inspected.  It turned out that a barrel of diesel for the JCB had been tipped over and the SIB/MPs were nicking anyone with stained shoes. I was in the room next to chris when he was nicked.

If I remember correctly a person with a prickly name was at the centre of things. possibly the senior flint stone! He could not stop the bulldozer whern he had stated it and a building was needed tobring it to a halt!

so L&M are trying to gain a bit of infamy on the backs of others well whoever you are your facts are totally wrong the bulldozer was just another way of the infamous strike commitee dond dong who after 40 yrs are still raising the underpants on the officers mess flagpost. No other squad has more or less been wiped from the corps history yet never has been bettered for commisions thro the ranks.  Perhaps Lee Marvin could have used a few of them to assault that chateaux, all the very best to whoever you are want some more interesting facts then get in touch
