Re: Drill Hall,
I was in the Cadet Battalion, Yorkshire Light Infantry; the King’s Own
in the early 1950s.
Mr Garbutt was the Caretaker at the time,
Our platoon leader was named Carl, who emigrated to Canada in 1956.
I was Under Officer in the last year there.
The Tate brothers were there, Doug and Colin, I don’t recall other names.
We learned .22 rifle, SMLE – Short Magazine Lee Enfield .303 full bore
and Bren gun, and shot on the range at Saltburn summer camp, near Redcar.
I was a marksman with the SMLE until I needed glasses ….
Guiseley Battalion joined on occasion under Sgt Busfield,
whose favourite command when taking the squad out on the road for drill.
