Alfie looked after me when I was a fresh young sapper posted into 33 ind fld sqn in Northern ireland. I was on his shift when he was a corporal, on the regimental police staff gaurding the camp. I remember we all got into painting pictures on glass, and being short of a piece Alfie pinched the glass cooker door from the guard room. He was a great fella to work for, and took young ones like me under his wing.
