The post you are reporting:
When I rejoined my Regiment at Golchester,I reported to C Company office, I was greeted by the C.S,M , "You are back Matcham and I have seen your report from the small arms school apart from the rocket launcher your marks were not that bad,anyway do not unpack you are off again "Sir I have not been home now for some weeks and I would like to take some time off to go and see them please."
"I can see you are dew some time off, but your new course starts next week, but yes you can have 3days at home then report back here by 2400hrs on Sunday,and you can also have a return railway warret to get you home"Thank you sir "And off I went really happy to be going home at last.
When I got home my dad told me ."Son it is nice to see you and as you have passed your driving test in the army I am going to buy you a car, for your birthday. on hearing that news I was over the moon,at that time there was a car show room on the Folkestone Rd it is now a fuel outlet .So off we went to get it,I did not know till we got there he had already paid for it.And what a great car it was and very good looking one it was second hand but it was a good one ,it was a Vavxhall Velox a green one 3gears fixed to the side of the s/wheel.
