The Coves Of Lulworth
A Memory of Lulworth Camp.
I was stationed at Lulworth Gunnery School from late Summer 1947 thru Nov. 1948. I remember the long up-hill walks from Wool Station at 3:15 am after a weekend away from camp, and the Guard Duties and adajunts Parade on Sat. mornings. I had a good job driving all over Dorset, Aldershot. and Suffolk. In my final months I was promoted to Lance Corporal and put in charge of the Camp Fire Dept. Which got me out of all other duties including the Adujaunts Parade. While I was at this Camp a few of us Recruits decided to put on an Army show. We were able to enlist the help of the 9th Lancers Dance band and our first performance was in the Camp Theatre which was also used for film shows and dances. The name of our show was "THE COVES OF LULWORTH" and it was a success. I had many friends in camp, I don't know what became of them but they are still friends in memory. I enjoyed the two years in the Army and the time at Lulworth Camp.
