1955 RAOC

Hello, my main memory was of Cpl Colman in charge of our barracks, he was hard, but fair, especially as I wrecked his room one night for a prank and he gave me cookhouse duties, but it could have been worse. My twin brother Paul was stationed here in 1954. I do remember taking my friend Jock Rainhome home with me during a short weekend and yes it was Brookwood Station. Hong Kong was my next posting after embarkation leave although I was supposed to join my brother in Tel e Kabir, Egypt.
