I was in the Glosters in the 50s. and served in Kenya, Aden, Bahrein and Cyprus.My service was as a regular, from 6/54 to 6/57, signing on at 171/2 for 22 yrs but stupidly at the time, due to no leave for over 2yrs, resigned after only 3yrs, however, I missed the army, so I joined the TA for 14yrs.
