MANY of your readers will have served in the Army during the 1940s and 1950s as National Servicemen - the "Virgin Soldiers".
Some of us completed our service in the Pay Corps in the UK, Germany and many other parts of the world.
An RAPC "Old Boys" Association has been formed and we are trying to trace ex-Pay Corps soldiers to swell the ranks. There is no membership fee, and we now have a list of almost 3,000 names. We hold an annual reunion in Birmingham in October.
Anyone interested in such an association is asked to contact John Hudson, Low Well House, 16 Main Street, Wheldrake, York, YO19 6AF, or myself on 0191 427 6016 or at the address below.
