The annual ‘chefs break' took us all
on a ‘wild weekend‘ in Berlin. The idea
was to play S-avside football against
the Berlin Detachment ACC but this
proved difficult as the majority were
suffering from the effects of the
previous night and morning. One of
our chefs who found playing football
very difficult was Pte ‘Tenko’ Ludford,
who spent the early hours of Saturday
morning trying to find his glasses. mis-
laid in one of Berlin's many wonderful
establishments the night before, Every-
body enjoyed the outing, although the
majority came back pennilus, We are
looking forward to the next chefs
