We had your sort during the war. Woman were thin on the ground so it was any port in a storm.
I remember those long hot summer days of 1939 waiting for a crack at Jerry. Of course by the time we went back up the old queen had been rusticated so I never got the opportunity to break my duck.
On the outbreak of hostilities I signed up with Bingham’s Dandies and soon got my first taste of action. It was Hyde Park Barracks, a night not to be forgotten. The old man found out and I received such a scrugging I had to ride side-saddle for a week.
