When We Were Soldiers

Came across this old (really old) photograph this morning; taken by Carole on the balcony of our first married quarter in Dhekelia, Cyprus in the Summer of 1983; photograph probably taken before an afternoon shift, a young Signalman (Private) Sandford. I was around 10 stone (soaking wet through) with a 28 inch waist and fitter than I've ever been in my life, before or since ........ never going to be any of those again.
You'll never wear shorts that short again either I assume

I can almost feel the heat! All the shorts were like those if I remember correctly.

What a great shot. David was as skinny as this in 1983 too. We were at Akrotiri from 1983 - 1986. Quite an eventful three years.

I was certainly more fit then. Nice that you have that photo to look back at.
