Post Office And Main Avenue, Park Hall Camp c1960
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I was at Parkhall Camp from Aug 1970 - Aug 1972. I remember that pay day was on a Wednesday, after which the Post Office was the first port of call to get sweets and soft drinks. Every boy had a POSBIE account which 7 shillings per week was transfered into, to be spent on leave. Some of the best years of my early military career were spent at Oswestry.

Yes but don't forget it was also payday, and the 54 club in the evening.
