Training Party at Cove - 1959

Over 40 sappers!

Party was so big they split it in two for training.

Don't remember the names of many of the guys I trained with, ashamed to say. One Guy I do remember is Cpl Mansley 3rd from left, front row. I served in Osnabruck with him later. He ended up a Major and died recently. He was mentioned in the Sapper Magazine.

Passing out parade, anybody remember the those 303 Enfield rifles?
