In Paderborn
The following were definately apparent -
RHQ FSC's
21 - Count then the 2 rebros were Cannon and Chatterbox as the establishment changed from 1 to 2 FSCs.

C Sqn - IIRC 0B was in fact Chivalrous and Charger was spare. And the ambulance 14B was in fact called 'Crockbrack'.

Pecker, we need to talk about my website you busy high flyer you!!!

Chatterbox used to be "Chatty" Taylors Dads K9 1tonner
Cobra used to be my Wilys Jeep, when I drove Maj. HCW Ironside, the best Sqn leader the Regiment ever had! He spent most of the war in Colditz, after being captured in France in 41/42. as a subletern, I think.
Cassius,Claudius & Caligula, 3 queer Romans, were always together in A Sqn

Going back a bit Gord,Cassius,Caligula and Claudius, surely they were the three conquerers (bless em) we had in A Sqn.Unless my memory is getting as bad as young Peckers spelling.

They may well have been in Detmold Alf, but they were 3 Trp in Fally, 1st time round.
