When 35Forwars support troop was formed it was independent. We controlled all plant. The Support sgn was paderborn so we had a ball.Capt, Jack Cheeseman was the oc. He was a lance corp on the d day landings. We were sitting in the front office playing pontoon. He had taken his jacket off. No rank showing. This fullscrew came in from 23 amphib came in. Offcourse my onestripe was the only one on show. Well this kid starts lording it. Where is your capt. Jack says gone to lunch. The idiot says stand up when you address me. Well Jack stood up " Sorry Corperal he will be back at two/
Well two o'clock Jack's back in the office jacket on. I was told to march the cpl in when he arrived. I did. Well if you have ever seen a big shot reduced to tears that was the biggest dressing down I ever saw.
Mind you he did the same to me. Due to lack of transport when we formed I used my own landrover for much of the fetch and carry. When I was on leave the RSM put a no parking sign on the parade ground entrance at the far end of the gym. Offcourse that is where our office was. I was unloading into the office when the RSM caught me. One of our cps was told to charge me. Well I was up in front of Jack. He ripped through me for about ten minutes. Even the Cpl was shaking. Then those dreaded words. Will you accept my award. YYYYYes ssssiirr. Fine £1.00.March him out CPL. The old B****R was laughing as we marched out.
