Hello Elwyn Price here sometimes called Taff once I reached the big wide world of adult service.
I joined up in September 1968 as an apprentice in STU Squads I served with:
The Junior Leaders at Oswestry (Now closed down)
The Welch Battallion Depot Crickhowell(Now closed down)
The Officers Mess at HQ Brecon (Now closed down)
notice a pattern here
The RAOC Ordinance depot at Donnington (Now closed to military catering)
BMH Hannover
94 Locating Regiment RA Celle
Somewhere near Hereford with some strange people
12 Armoured Workshop Osnabruck
1st Battalion Royal regiment of Fusilleers Canterbury
1st Battalion Duke of Wellingtons Regiment Tern Hill Shropshire
Head Quarters Wales and Western District Copthorne Barracks
Shrewsbury where I was discharged in 1993 after completing my 22 years without being caught(well not to often any way)
Since demob I have tried a small spell of four years in self employment
and then managed to find a real job where people paid me instead of trying to rip me off. I have spent the last 9 years at a prep school in Shropshire covering a Domestic Bursars/Facilities manager type post and have now become the responsible person for health and safety.
I am having a good life and have become a contented Grandfather. 1968 seems such a long time ago. I would be glad to hear from anybody I have known. befriended or fallen out with over the last 38 years and share in some memories and hopefully have a few laughs.
Take care out there and enjoy life (Its too short not to)
Elwyn
