175th / BB Camp in Cricceith, Wales. 1966
|
My first BB Camp was to Cricceith. I was 12 yrs old.
My company the 175th with Captain Robert Smart, amalgamated with a company from Dalmarnock, 161st Glasgow from Hall Memorial Church, Dalmarnock Rd. I
remember attending get togethers bringing along cans of soup, beans etc which
helped keep the cost of the camp down.

Jan.2006, extract from GP
messageboard, Irene Frost (nee Muir)
Re 161st B.B my dad Vince Muir was an officer at the same time that Steve
Hall was captain both my brothers were in the brigade at that time. John
and Gordon Muir. I can remember going to many camps with the 161 we went
to Cricceith and Newcastle N.Ireland had lots of fun even if I was
a girl just imagine me a young teenager and all those boys. Unfortunately
both mum and dad were there also. Some of my brothers friends were Robert
Clark, Graham Hutchinson, Jim Findlay, Andy McKenna and the years
would be about late 50s early 60s sadly both mum and dad are gone now but
they both gave lots of love and fun to the boys from the 161st.
Webmaister : noo whit a
coincidence Irene you and I were at the same camps, ah wis only 12yrs old
when we went to Cricceith, I was also at the N.Ireland camp in 1968 !!!.
P.S. Robert Clark (Bob) is a member of my bowling club and a good
friend, he sends his regards.
