Too many cooks. 1952-4.
Photo: Ron Dawber

Too many cooks. After doing our national service most blokes didn't get demobbed, but were actually posted to their local TA, where you did 2 weeks camp for 3 years, plus a few weekends. These are just 6 pics taken at these camps, some at Tonfana (spelling?) in Wales, the others at Weybourne.The mob was 652 HAA Regiment, based at Wigan Drill Hall, mostly blokes from in or around Wigan.
