The Volunteer yes but the Shrubbery Hotel in Ilminster brings sad memories. I don't know if it still exists or is needed but back in the early 50s the S.O.P was that if one of your students went in you as his QFI had to meet and look after the family when they came for the funeral and burial. The hotel used for their accommodation was normally the Shrubbery in Ilminster hence the memories. One of mine, not doing as he was told, made a hole near Watchett, and looking after the family and being careful in what one said to them following the inevitable question "What happened" was hard.
Until we got our Vampire 9s the attrition rate with the old 1s and 3s was bad although not as bad as with the Meatbox.
Cannot really say happy days but in lots of ways they were.
