Does anyone else remember the ‘happening’ in Detmold in the early 60’s?
We were generally miffed with what was on offer at meal times and word somehow spread, about the only action we could take. With a single mind, across the camp, we all in our own time made our way to the cookhouse, filled our plates and walked directly to the gash bin to dump the lot. The Duty officer couldn’t help but notice as the gash bins were soon overflowing.
Within days the food on offer improved. I believe the WO I/c cookhouse was posted out. Reports filtering out claimed that our quality meats were being sold locally and replaced with cheaper cuts served with sauces etc to fool us.
