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.
