CYPRUS 1956 AND BAOR 1958
The Revd Canon Bill Sayer provided the following 2 photographs of the 1956 Limassol visit by The Governor, Field Marshal Harding, to 12 Pl D Coy.

The 1958 Bn Swimming team delighted the CO, Lt Col Bill Murray-Brown. Under OIC Swimming Lt Bill Sayer, far right below, they won all BAOR competitions except Water Polo. In the Army Finals, the only Infantry Bn competing, they came 3rd.

Missing from the photograph above is David Clarke.

Editorial Rule
To qualify for inclusion in the B&C there is only one rule - something described must have been said to have happened.
The authority is the Editor, British Army Review No 114 Dec 96, `If the facts don`t fit the legend, print the legend’.

However, the rules of good taste, respect and confidentiality are always applied.
