  • Army Recruiting film following a group of recruits to the Intelligence Corps through their basic and trade training.
    They are shown learning drill and weapons handling and undertaking various kinds of fitness training before going on to be taught skills specific to their chosen Corps. Office administration, the collation and recording of intelligence, photographic interpretation, cordon and search operations and counter-intelligence are all on the syllabus before the training class is split up for postings to operational units. The film then shows situations and tasks likely to be encountered by British forces in Singapore, Malaya and Hong Kong. A cordon and search operation in a village in Kenya, where the Mau Mau insurgency was then coming to an end, is also shown. British soldiers surround a house, search the occupants and, having found an illegal weapon, they then take them away for questioning.

    Enjoyed this. I lived in Singapore, aged 4 - 7, while my Dad worked at GHQ. We came back in '62. Must be about the same times as this film. I actually remember Singapore Swimming Club with its arched diving boards! Jumped off it 😊.

    No WRAC members at this time? Fascinating video, narrated by the late Richard Baker.
    Thank you for posting this. 👍

    I did Intelligence Corps basic training in 1987. I then did the 'special' course at Loughborough that they mention. I did 15 years before I became an officer in another Corps.

      @NullbYte-gk5jq.
      In the 1970s. 1974 if I recall correctly. Before my time though, I joined the Corps in 1986.

    I remember somone telling me what the cap badge was, a pansy resting on its laurels,
    As an aside I was a regular in the Royal Artillery, but joined Army Intelligence as a resevist.

      It was the other way round for me. I was a TA Gunner for a couple of years then joined the regular Int Corps.

    Must be late 50's early 60's, with the Mau Mau reference. All I remember is translating českým rozhlasovým operátorům and the българска армия then transferring there conversations to Fortran 77 on floppy discs 😆😆.

    They definitely vetted you for this cap badge. A school friend of mine joined the Tankies , 4 RTR & his older brother tried to join the Intelligence Corps.
    They rejected him as in his University time ( not sure how long or what he studied) they found out he was a member of some student communist group.
    So he was refused & he joined the Royal Engineers
    Was in the late 80s so might not be like that now.

      Don't believe everything your told Deckie, try thinking critically (a sign of true intelligence). Who ran agent 'Steak Knife' aka Freddie Scappaticci? What were the conclusions of 'Operation Kenova'? Who first sowed the idea of the 'armalite and the ballot box' amongst the higher echelons of the 'movement'? British military intelligence is not to be underestimated having been honed by 500 years of experience.
      Once I was blind and now I can see.
