I just missed the famous RSM Brittain at Mons Officer Cadet school. He retired just before I was there in Spring 1955 I am now 87

My Dad who was a Scots guard served in the Guards Depot Caterham at the same time as Tibby Britain. You could hear him all over the town when he was shouting orders ,he was a legend in the Guards. !!!!
