The picture on the tractor
The Sgt.'s stripes were worn by me because I was given the Cadet rank as I was the Cadet Band Leader and one of the buglers at Albany and Macon GA. in Class 42A of the Arnold scheme. It made no difference to the pay, but gave us certain privileges such as being allowed to go off the camp some weekdays as well as the normal time which was from noon Saturday until 1900 Sunday. We were just fooling around with the tractor and never dared to get it going . We were also allowed to try the Fire engine but amazed the Americans when they discovered that all of us, at that time, could solo on an aeroplane but, only about one in fifty had ever driven a car. Signs of the times....1941 Reg.
