It seems as if I had your share:
Cyprus as a baby forecaster 3 years
EDUO as a forecaster of sorts 3
JHQ as forecaster and TACEVAL team 3
JHQ as cook and bottlewasher 6
It was tough but somebody had to do it.
Incidentally, whereas in my youth we found more than enough volunteers for all the overseas post ...... BFG, West Indies, Gib, Malta, Cyprus, N Africa, Aden [perhaps not], Nairobi, Singapore, HongKong ......
in later years the posting folk had to bend a few arms where "wives of" were in fact the larger breadwinner of the family. I think the retreat from Empire and the drawdown came at a timely moment, we had scraped the volunteer barrel dry. Hence my getting back to JHQ, but that is another tale.
