A Memory of Blandford Camp.
I was at Blandford Camp at the end of 1951 undergoing training in Motor Transport before being sent to No. 1 Training Battalion Aldershot with the Horse Draw Section of the RASC. Although my memory of Blandford is a bit sketchy these days (now 88 years old) I have to say that I don't remember any bad things to report. I earned my Driving license during my stay (Civilian examiners), and was asked stay in Blandford Camp by the Education Officer owing to my ability to produce some handsome educational display posters. However, I turned down the offer and later regretted doing so. Aldershot was a "pig" of a place. Anyway I was chosen as Best Recruit and was presented with a Plaque by the Brigadier in front of whom we paraded. Wouldn't mind doing that again and making different choices.
