Memories of Lincolnshire Regiment
Lincolnshire Regiment, Ismalia, North Camp, Egypt in 1952Written by David Brown Contact this person >>  "I have a memories of a ’Tut Tut’ Clarke who used to cry when I played ’No place like home’ on my mouth organ. And Jack Crompton (in my pics) who sadly died recently. He remained a close friend after returning from service and was also best man at my wedding in 1955.
Does anyone else remember these names or anyone who served with us please? I also came home on The Empress of Australia, which was it’s very last duty before being decomissioned. (The only time I ever slept in a hammock)!! Also remember the sickness on board that rust bucket coming through the Bay of Biscay.. What a stench... Happy times!!!! lol
" Lincolnshire Regiment, Goslar, Germany in 1953Written by David Brown Contact this person >> "I have a sad memory of a fellow soldier, I think was called Pete Marshall who I believe was from Gainsborough, accidently being shot during rifle practice. We were never told what happened to him wether he survived or not. Can anyone help with this information at all please? The Regimental Sergant Major (RSM Russell) was nicked-named Yedder, cos everything he shouted seemed to come out as "YEDDER".... Anyone else remember him??" Lincolnshire Regiment, Goslar, Germany in 1953Written by David Brown Contact this person >> "I remember being collarred one day by CSM Flowers being told to add my name onto the MTS list. I didn’t have a lot of choice in this and had the rise took out of me for being caught by him. But I had the last laugh as when Jack had finished laughing and went out CSM Flowers was still there and caught him to sign up too!!! Did you ever get caught or have any memories of this or CSM Flowers?? Having signed up for the MTS (Motor Transport Services) I was obviously required to learn and take a driving test. On the day of the test it was snowing badly and blowing a blizzard but it went ahead. Well.. despite hitting a bus in that terrible weather I actually passed!!!! Do you have anymore driving memories??"
