(Yes, I know there's the original Herford/Hereford connection, but haven't we kind of done that now?)

Anyway...must be time for tops off.

You're right. Did I stick the SOXMIS card with the Herford number up earlier? Here it is anyway.

Correct

But not to be confused with SOXMIX. Thats when all your socks get mixed up in the washing, some disappear into the duvet cover, some just disappear all together...

Was he a slightly chubby chap - nick named Jelly Belly or Jelly Roll or some such?

I only ask because the incident was mentioned on a HEFAT course I did a while back. The people referencing the incident were all ex-SAS

If it's PERSEC sensitive then not to worry. I'm only interested because of the high regard the blokes seemed to have for the DET chap.

Weren't they based there? Bunde was the home of the Russan delegation. They shopped in the Naafi and were treated by the British Med and Dental centres .

The community centre for the Oficers Patch in Bunde is oddly enough calle
