Warminster
Was posted School of infantry technical wing at Warminster 2nd March 1948.
Relinquished his rank on posting to the School of infantry technical wing at Warminster. I am sure that whilst he was at Warminster he obtained Knowledge that The Kings Shropshire Light Infantry were to be posted from public service duties in London to training duties in Hong Kong. He would have also applied for a change of trade as an infantryman was not the best skill set for a job in civilian life? He had requested to be considered for a clerks course which was granted and this would be done in Singapore at FARELF RASC training.
Kings Shropshire Light Infantry 28th June 1949
On 28/6/1949 he was taken on strength to the Kings Shropshire Light Infantry and relinquishing his tapes on posting back to Private. As the 1st KSLI was on public service duties in London, this would have fitted well with George being a Londoner! This was to be short lived as the Regiment was now mustering to embark for service and training duties to Hong Kong and on August 11th 1949, it embarked from Liverpool on the Troopship Empress of Australia for Hong Kong.
