These photos must be 1958 as I can remember most of them Jock Bradley was the name I could not remember that was looking out of the train, the one standing by the truck looks like Darkie Rawson , ref the 3 troop photo the one on the left sitting down looks like Cuddly Dudley . Seeing the Brain again brings back some memories, those were the days.

You are correct Wiz he was called PEA BRAIN but only behind his back. At the time I was
acting as Sqn Clerk.
