Happy Days

A Memory of Esher.

In 1945 I was stationed in Esher racecouse, as a Welsh Guard who had just completed 3 months of hard discipline in the guards depot in Caterham. The difference in Esher to the depot was remarkable, N.C.Os were suddenly human beings who treated men as men, not objects. I can say in the 3 years I was in the army that the time at Esher was the most enjoyable. I was also friendly with a girl named Mary Edwards. She live in a road opposite the racecourse, I believe it was named Madresfield Road. I was 18 years of age then,I am now 83, so that would make Mary,about
81 years old now. Perhaps older people can remember the influx of Welsh guards to the town, especially on Friday nights.
