Hello everyone.....

Hi to all the ex & still serving military chefs.
My name is Phill Rushton, I was in intake 2/81 Scarisbrick Platoon, A Coy.
It would be good to hear from anyone who knows or remembers me !!!
It would also be nice to know what happened to "MR BEASTIE" (Any ex member from 2/81 will know what I'm on about !!!!).

Would this be the Phil "Batman" Rushton?

[Phill Rushton]

Hello Yorkie, Yes It's "Batman" from the days with the Life Guards / Blues & Royals 1983-1986 at Lothian Barracks in sunny Detmold (more like "Wetmold"). Nice to hear from you, how are you keeping ?
