I was in Vimi lines at Catterick in January 8th 1959. There was two foot of snow as we stood outside stripped to the waist while waiting for our “jabs”.

My father did National Service and some of the things he used to say from the Army was "Jankers" (punishment duty), "Best PD" (Best Parade Dress), about saluting "the hand brought sharply up to eye line the shortest way and then brought the longest way down to the down to the side of the body".......
