Re: MOD to cut 2000 maureens...
He was actually presented with one in the Sgt's Mess 3 Para,Osnabruck,79 ish,but seemed to lose it quickly,or preferred a porky!That was the same time C/Sgt Mick Mingins drunkenly jumped through the window into the bar,naked but for a cowboy hat and two six guns on a belt,pulled them out,and shouted "Reach for the sky Big Ears!"He spent his last 6 months or so,until discharge,banished to the Toms bar in the NAAFI!It was several months after he left that we found he'd filled a 5 gallon drum of rifle oil in the armoury with washing up liquid,explaining the bubbles pouring off our weapons in the rain!
