A Snapshot of Service
in 'A' Company of the Argylls
Limni Mines, Cyprus 1958

Map of Cyprus 		from the A&SH tray..........
Stirling Castle, raw recruit in the butts of the firing range turns to Sergeant Tam Johnston.
'Has anyone ever been shot on the range, sergeant?'
'Naw, never!'
Bang! Aaahhhh! The recruit screams - hit in the knee by a ricochet off the metal target plates.

Ghandi's credit book contained a few obscure names like 'Roy Rogers', 'Donald Duck', 'Errol Flynn'....etc

One of the Jocks - who shall remain nameless - even ran up an account in my name!

I remember the day CSM Bert Lyons collared me about the number of Jocks like 'Donald Duck' etc, who had not paid their 'char wallah' account.

What could we do, but laugh?
