    ROYAL MILITARY POLICE OLD COMRADES LINK UP NEWSLETTER #169 JULY 2021 NEW CONTACTS RENNIE Former 24088967 Sergeant Stuart Rennie, Squad R90. Stuart joined the Corps in 1969 and following training went on to serve with 247 Provost Company, 16 Parachute Brigade Provost Unit, SHAPE, 174 Provost Company, 114 Provost Company and 227 Provost Company. He completed his service in 1982. YOUR CORRESPONDENCE It looks as if Tom Waples, mentioned in the last edition did take up his pen again so here is his story. “In 1950 it was a waiting game, National Service for 18 months serving the King and Country, A large black cloud hung over you, would you get deferred to enable you finish your course.. Unfortunately the education/apprenticeship had a longer period, therefore when you finally joined you could be in your early twenties with a good education mixing with in some cases rather backward not so well educated youths. At your medical you would have been asked what branch of the services you would like to serve. According to the information one got from gossip it was usually the RAF for a so called easy life, (the Brylcream boys). The vast majority of conscripts went straight into the Army, but the biggest threat was, will the dice drop onto the Bevin Boys? Although they said it was OK, time spent underground digging for coal in very small places was not the first pick by any means, so still under the black cloud one just waited until you received the letter telling you to report. My letter arrived telling me to go to a named barracks in Aldershot, I was about to join the Army.
