    I remember RSM Brandreth.. He was the main man under Lt Col Blunt GM the CO of the Regt… A real WO1.. Smart as a carrot.. Firm but fair.. A proper RSM

    I was a craftsman at 35 Sqd. Workshops (formally 35 coy.). RSM Brandreth selected a few REME personnel to be on parade to carry a cushion with new hat badges for a few who would be transferred from a former Corps to be RCT. I think there were a few RASC transferred to the RAOC. The preparations for this parade went on for a few weeks, not just the parade but erecting tenting for the after parade events. If I remember rightly it all very well.
