Patrick,
It does make reference to Deepcut barracks but it was written after reading
Frederick's snap and so I felt it qualified as a Snap. Perhaps it is a
snapback?
My father was a Drill Sergeant who worked at Deepcut. My family lived in
the residential area known as Pirbright Camp (I wrote an earlier snap on
that broad subject). I think I'd like to leave it at that for now except to
say that a member of a workshop I attend has encouraged me to write about my
childhood. When memories surface I am trying not to discourage them.
Tina
