Hi. David, never thought I would see this call up paper up letter again, thank you, it has had me searching thro my memorabilia, and have found this old postcard of the entrance of the REME camp in Honiton your father arrived at on 24 May 1956 (the notice board sign-REME - can be seen on far left of photo), part of the letter says have a haircut before arrival so I did, but was ordered to have another one within 1 hour of arrival ! —still got most of my hair so didn’t have any lasting damage. Will upload another view of this camp when I can find it. Bryan.
