IN May 1962 almost 100 young boys left their homes and families from all over Britain and travelled up, down and across to the City of Carlisle in Cumbria to become the next intake of young soldiers at the Army Apprentices College, Carlisle.

Now 50 years on there is to be a reunion of all of those original members of Intake 62b.

If there are any people from those heady, halcyon days of Carlisle who would wish to attend the weekend celebrations are asked to contact Bernie Wisely at bernie.wisely@googlemail.com for further details Address supplied
