Training in England

When they gave us our IQ, I suppose I scored certain points for certain things and I qualified to be a driver mechanic. They took us to, started out in book learning I suppose you’d call it, mechanic studying. And then they took us out after we got through the course and start to teach us how to drive. Now we were driving on the right hand side then, not the left hand side. That was quite, of course it didn’t bother me because I couldn’t drive anyway at that time. Well, that’s where, that’s where I learned how to drive in England. All I knew, I was in the Army, I was getting ready for the 166 or the 59th , whatever they were going to.... By the way, some of the boys did go to the other regiment the 59th. The heavy regiment we called it. But there was about 25 or 30 of us. I’d say half, I’d say half the draft that went over together went to one regiment and the other half went to the other regiment. See we had two regiments over there. Newfoundland did.
