DAK D Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) Hi @Fred Karno's Army, I was at "Beltring in 96" I'm not sure if the photo is from that year, but it was taken in the 1990's. All the uniform items are original WW2 issue! D Edited December 10, 2016 by DAK D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAK D Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Hi @Fred Karno's Army, If you wanted a morning shower you had to get up at about six in the morning, or wait in the long line. The toilets were disgusting at the best of times and the smell alone was enough to put off most people D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davejb Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Yes Beltring was a hellhole, I went to the loo there once and never again , after that I made it a rule to go before I got there, and I liked Folkstone you could have a jobby in peace there and it was a hell of a lot cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
