Picture of Hut 27 in the Winter of 1952

Thanks to Terry Baldwin 3511953, for this photograph of Hut 27 in the Winter of 1952.

The only name I remember is Cpl.Ritchie - I sit on his right [Deputy Senior Man] - my best mate on his left [Senior Man].
The chap 1st left on back row was an Indian, not Pakistani, quite a rare sight in 1951 for me as I had never travelled further north than Cambridge before joining up!! I remember he used to say in perfect Peter Sellers vernacular [before Peter's time actually] "My people come from India" He was great fun and integrated effortlessly with us erks. The chap behind my best mate was called "Paddy" and was obviously Irish.
