hi bernard
Yes I know what you mean, my pay was £1,17.6p, £1.0.0 went compulsory to your POSBI and I lived on 17/6, blanco, Kiwi, fags, razor blades, clay white, brasso, NAAFI, I cryed buckets when the NAAFI horlicks went up to 5d, but one consolation, when we had block leave and you cashed your POSBI I went home once with £60, I counted it all the way back to Brum, I had never seen a £10.note in my life. Just as a matter of info my son William is as we speak at Pirbright he is a PTI perminent staff for the Para Wing P Coy pre training and he is living in the old Guards Depot 'D' Lines, right next to the old confidence course behind the old AADW.I was there in 63/64, funny how things come around again in life ! Nulli Secundus bernard.

Paul
