Mémoire - George A. MILLIE

Comments – Gerry ‘Greg’ Peck

My most fulsome congratulations mate! You have performed a most worthy deed in setting out what will stand as the definitive portrayal of life in an Army Apprentice School. In my own humble attempt, I brushed lightly over the subject; your superb effort is like the Bayeux Tapestry, full of detail, rich in vivid colour and historically flawless! I stand in awe of your memory and fine attention to detail, I really do! Reading it, I could "smell the polish" and "hear the clatter of steel shod boots". HQ Company sprang to life once again and the real, undiluted "atmosphere" of AAS Arborfield leapt out at me, uncanny! In a word … superlative!
