Terriers

From Captain Simon:
My dad, joined the Terriers aged 16 in 1933 because if you went on camp you got some great boots for 2/6d which you were allowed to keep, and not only that if you joined the regimental band you not only got taught how to play an instrument for free, went to lots of dances, you also got out of all that marching, square bashing, spud peeling and being shouted at, in the band people spoke to you nicely, then some inconsiderate git invaded Poland and they all got dis-banded.

    And is that a Triumph Terrier?

    Not a Terrier, no. That didn't come out until late 1952/early '53 and never had girder forks. This pic looks like it was taken in the '30s, which matches the story. Can't think which bike would have had a left-side exhaust. Did Capain Simon send the pic in?
