Rag Ryder, and that the guy on the left may be Wilf O'Brian

In ` 64 a platoon of us went to Mons OCS , Dick Hancock was Platoon Commander and Larry Parkes was Platoon Sergeant
Here`s what Mons look`s like now :-
I have marked the points of interest , so the Lads can get their bearings :-
1 ) Demonstation platoon (LF) barrack block
2 ) Basingstoke Canal ( remember the Mossie`s )
3 ) Guardroom
4 ) Barrack Square ( of RSM R Brittain Coldstream G. fame )
The long white building in the centre is where the Cadet`s Spider Billets were at one time and the white building on the left is a APTC tennis centre on the playing field that we used to use . St Omer ACC catering school was at the other side of the canal . The canal towpath ,our shortcut to town, is now well overgrown .
