Never ever had live rounds in my pockets Sergeant see--------! Just dont look at the bulges in my Jungle Gaiters-----!
Got away with a swag of 303 rounds that way there was always some duffer getting caught with a couple of rounds in their pockets then we all got a serve and threatened in the most definitive manner what would happen if it happened again then into the back of the lorries for the run back to school go for a No.2 in the dunny pop them into the pencil case and that was that homeskee.
I think you are right was the Eley packet a blue with a target on it and a full 22 round pictured as well as I vaguely remember that your talking about 1971-2 bit foggy now.
I do have a couple of stories about Northam when we went on bivouac up there couple involve the Bren, a night stalk, daytime drop off and find yer way home, our initiation to Northam camp by the regulars.
