Romeo Oscar Golf,
If your paper stayed up on your ceiling , then I salute you, Sir ! Yes, we did use "terminal" leave - but then an Endowment Policy will give you a "Terminal Bonus". We worked closely with the Army in Burma, and always found them "Good Types" (indeed I dare not say otherwise, or my last two ancestors (both 22-yr (long service) Sergeants with the "King's Liverpool" Regt.) will have "it in-for-me".
(Yes, I do remember Frankie Howard and "Infamy !, Infamy !")
