Many Fond Memories 1955 56
A Memory of Chiseldon.
Hi, I remember with fondness Chiseldon, being at the camp in 1955 and early 1956. My best memories are of Ma's cafe which we all visited throughout the week and the many times we visited the Saturday night dances at the British Legion hut.
Relaxing times were also spent at the Patriots Arms. I also remember a nice young lady who came into Ma's cafe on many occasions with a little dog, I think her name was Wendy. I also remember walking a nurse back to Wroughton hospital and on reaching the hospital boundary found the time was 11:30pm, and I had to run like mad the full mile to Chiseldon camp to arrive on time or be marked as absent without leave.
We were then shipped out to Libya and finished up in Malta and Cyprus.
My very best wishes to Chiseldon.
From Allan Reid, ex Duke of Wellingtons Regt.
