| REGIMENTAL ANECDOTES Maj Tom H Styles from Bucks, wrote about sharing a dugout in Korea with Trevor Hart: 'a bolshy National Service Doctor, RMO to the 1st Bn. As a result of his service, which included going on a patrol in which 2Lt `Tit’ Towell was awarded an immediate MC for his gallantry, he became a Regular and ended up as Maj Gen Trevor Hart CB RAMC.' Photograph 25 in the 'History of the Royal Norfolk Regiment 1951-1969' by Maj Bob Godfrey MC BA, shows Trevor Hart in the RAP, dressing a leaking wound on Tim Chatting's knee. (It is a black and white PR photograph so we presume Tim that 'Teacher's Highland Cream Orange Marmalade with Perfection of Old Scotch Whisky' was used for the cassim? And rumour has it that in the box on which you were sitting was hidden a gas cooker? Ed.) |

ADVICE from Maj Tom H Styles' long departed Granny: 'Remember, it ain't what you do, it's what you get caught doing.' WHO WROTE THIS ? |
| WHO WROTE THIS LAMP SWINGING TALE? 'I was stationed in Pahang in a bamboo camp on the edge of primary jungle 5 miles from Mentakab. It was quite good fun and though the area was designated 'black' - at least 4 vehicles and 20 men - if the truth were told our greatest concern both in the camp and in the jungle, for part of the time at least, was caused by a glut of cobras.' To make the task a little easier, the writer's name appears three times in this edition and twice in B&C No 85 December 1995. Ed. (This, of course, was Tom Styles!
