As well as the contingent at
the Arborfield Army
Apprentices School,
Burmese apprentices were also trained at the Chepstow and Harrogate
schools. This page is devoted to the
lads at Chepstow.
The first two photographs
have been contributed by Khin Maung Win, Intake 55B and a
member of B Company. He retired
as a Captain and is living in Myanmar.
Arborfield lads may notice
that whilst wearing brass collar dogs, Chepstow continued with the cloth
shoulder flashes. By this time
Arborfield had adopted the brass shoulder flashes, backed by company
colours.
