My father joined in 1918, served until 1950 = 32 years
I joined in 1964, retired in 2003 = 39 years
My CCF service (as some are counting this) = 5 years
Grand total = 76 years
Not too shaby
By the way, Grandfather served 33 years so running total = 110.
But my Uncle (also Derek Sharp) served for 3 years before the Lancaster he was flying was shot down over Germany & he was killed
Now grand total 113. Anyone beat that?
