The officer on the left was a history master with the nickname Slob: it was very appropriate. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bamber 128 Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 That should be CCF. The OTC was abolished in 1948. Can you imagine the blue funk nowadays if schoolboys, with rifles, boarded a train? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
