Three
photos taken at The Craftsman’s Cup Final in 1962. It was played at Roberts
Barracks, Osnabrueck, home of 35 Engineering Regiment. It was between LAD
16/5 Lancers and my unit, 5 Infantry Workshops. We lost 2-3 after extra
time. In action in the first photo is S/Sgt
Pat Inky Penn (AOB) who some
may remember as A/CSM when 52A were in HQ Company. The second photo shows
me lurking menacingly. Star of the game was another Arborfield Old
Boy. His name was Henry Whitehead 51B shown on the ball in the third photo.
