Wonderful stuff, Danny. Thank you! As I PVR'd (also in 1973) I had the same entitlement to a resettlement course as I had to a Service Pension, ie nil.
A friend of mine did so attend though and said that every day an Army Colonel attended his course wearing full No1 uniform, including a Sam Browne, and was accompanied by his batman. On the bricklaying phase by lunchtime he was splattered all over with pug, but appeared in the afternoons immaculate again. He either had an inexhaustible supply of uniforms or his batman held cleaning secrets that even Barry Scott would envy.
