165 Platoon 50 years on
Fifty years ago in May 1959, 165 Pl passed out at Maida Bks Aldershot. The majority of the blokes went to 2 Para and were posted to Cyprus however some of us were really lucky and went across the road to 3 Para at Corunna Bks. I'm still alive and kicking albeit living in Oz. where are the rest of the guys ???
