It was a signal’s unit but I myself in Service Corp as
administrator, we had the office jobs and there was, I think
there was twelve of us, Service Corp there and there was also
Ordnance Corp, that’s supply, but mainly sigs.
I looked after all the movies that came over from Canada,
all the books that the Salvation Army sent over.
Used to keep a library and I would, had a schedule where
the movies would go. We had ten detachments in the Congo.
We would send the movies to make sure all the
detachments got it. We also loaned them to the Irish
Republican Army were over there and Indians were there
from India so we provided them with movies and that too so.
We had two hours off for lunch because they closed down
for two hours for siesta and then after lunch went back to
work and work till five and then the rest was free time.
We played a lot of ball,
a lot of softball and volleyball, tennis, horse shoes.
