Not many of us left now I am the young one of the group and I am 70years old ,it does not seem that long ago that I was serving but I went in as a young lad of 16 in 1958, and because I was not fit to keep going I was med/ discharge in 1964.But was still fit to carry on in the R.N X.S and was in the marine pens at the east docks in Dover. And was call out onto service for four days only when the U.S,A ,and the Soviet Union had a go at each other over Cuba,the police came to my house at about midnight and I had to join the others down at the pens was lock in there four days and nights,and when they took me I could not tell the wife why or where I was going. Could not say anythink to her when I returned,and I think she was not happy about that.
