and stand bravely behind the Orderly Sergeant
As Orderly Sgt at Akrotiri I and the Orderly Officer were warned by the SP's that there would be quite a few Paras drinking in the Airmen's Club, that evening.
I was briefed that if they were reluctant to leave I was to warn them that I would send for the police with dogs. ''And you sir, said the SP, ''I advise you to stay well away and let the Sergeant handle it'' (gulp)
As it happened, after some banter, they left quietly apart from knocking over a huge pyramid of empty Tennants beer cans, as they walked out.
