One of the mast funniest moments for me,was on an exercise called,Op Lionheart????,out in Germany during 1978.
l was with my first Regiment after training at Shorncliffe, Kent.We had
been eating ration packs for four or five days,and some of the "Old Sweats" decided they wanted something diffrent to eat.
They decided to catch a wild Boar Piglet,they had spotted roaming in
some big forest out there,and also decided to include me in there
hunting party,WHY.????
After stalking the piglets for a while,somebody decided to rush them,
the person went out of sight behind trees,but as quick as he had vanished he reappeared with what can only be discibed as utter fear on his face.
Because close on his heals,was a massive Boar,l and the others could
not climb those trees fast enough.
We decided after that,poaching from a trout farm,and pinching sweet corn from fields was a safer option.
