Lionheart started badly; Sgt Butter» field managing to throw both tracks before the troop had deployed. At least, after that, things could only get better. or so it was hoped! A 3 days OP was the first task. this was completed with consummate ease on limited man- power. Our camouflage was so good that more than one visitor was found blundering about muttering “bloody fools in the wrong place again!" From that moment the exercise moved from seized final drive to pack life and gear- box changes. Cpl Hayden and LCpl Davies were plagued by bad luck but gained credit by working well under difficult circumstances. Cpl Evison has managed to avoid major breakdowns on exercises so far. in fact he's managed to avoid major exercises altogether! Suspicions that the volley— ball team go: on holiday over Regimental exercises are to be investigated. Having returned from Exercise Lion- heart.
