Cambrai Barracks?

Yay I was in Balaklava Troup 91/03. Great memories ☺️

Anyone help with identifying the unit of the lads wearing the white forage caps on parade?

if there is one phrase that NO Soldier ( dont matter what CORP, what Branch, what Unit) should EVER Forget ,, what is it ???? lol Quote " I HAVE NO LIVE ROUNDS OR EMPTY CASE's IN MY POSSESSION , Sir " lol ......

Cannot believe i did 3 postings at cambrai bks....monday morning parades on that square.

Mine was 87/20 and was with 2RTR at Carrick this is a blast from the past

I would highly recommend NOT joining the armored corps, especially the RL or RDG based in Catterick, Northern England. You'll do most of your trade training down in the south, when you get to your unit you'll hardly ever do your trade, other than 2 or 3 times a year on occasions like Castlemartin or Cambrian Patrol firing/operating the vehicles. Most of the time you'll always just maintain the AFV, carry out level 1 work on them (the REME should do the rest in terms of the mechanical side), do morning PT, go on mostly generic exercises (not using the AFV), go on Gunnrey courses and hang around a dirty hanger doing not too much. If you join the Army now (that is as of this time very undermanned, all Crops) join a corps that you'll obtain transferable skills, qualifications and an trade you'll utilize more often (hence why the RAC aren't issued any real deployments, as they aren't fully needed). If you want the bland, mostly boring hanging around the hanger scene, with a northern boyish regiment then, by all means join.

That cavalier had a misfire

Brings back memories. My pass off was many years before and it was the beginning of an interesting career, and one I would love to repeat. Alas, my regiment is no more, amalgamation waters down individual regimental history, but is kept alive by those still remaining.

What a load of f*****g shit ! Get rid of the bloody music for a start. Did my training at Cambrai Barracks in 1979 (3RTR) and it was nothing like this load of crap. You wore uniform for the first month, then having met the required level you got your civvies back. Did not wear berets until you had learnt to march and salute in the proper manner, god help you if you f***ed up. You marched everywhere, to the cook house, the naafi, medcentre. Failure was not an option. You could be reported by a member of a senior intake for not marching in the correct fashion. Could be asked to produce you ID at any time, failure to do so you could end up carrying a 'shell' (prac hesh round, this went everywhere with you. To cookhouse, the bog, the shower, even to bed. Did the river run on numerous occasions, even got bollocked for singing 'Moon River', & had to do Gas drill (in nbc kit) was in a brick building. When told to do so, approach the instructor, mask off then name, rank, number, & if cleared to proceed go outside to cough your guts up. Sadly The Third no longer exists due to gov cut backs. Had the privilege to go to the amalgamation parade in 1992, a sad day.

They most certainly did in 1991!

Bullshit because RAC don't do their training at cattericl

I was only just an Army Cadet between 1956-1959 in the 7th Cadet Battalion Royal Sussex Regiment reaching Corporal in 1959. All my Exams and a lot of training took place under Regulars instruction at Chichester Barracks so I can remember many of their names. We also wore the collar dogs in remembrance of the 7th Regular Btn, who won the only battle homour on their way to Dunkirk. I was terribly proud to have worn the cap badge and uniform of the Regiment. Sadly I had to move away and then rejoined but in The Buffs which were never were the same. Barry Titmus
