I left the battalion on September 20, 1954 at the completion of my two years of National Service. Two weeks later on October 5th - my first day at university, I read in the evening newspaper that an agreement had been reached to settle the Trieste situation. I was lucky to travel home in a more relaxed way. I was invited to attend the final trooping of the colour and the ensuing celebrations - enough said!
I wish I had had a modern SLR or digital camera with a zoom lens then to take what are probably sadly, historic pictures
