My name is Graham
Armstrong and I was born in 80 Stainton Grove in November 1957.
My dad was a corporal in 1
Durham Light Infantry. We were posted to Honiton in Devon then back
to Barnard Castle for a few weeks I think where I started school in
the camp for a matter of weeks then posted to Berlin.
My mum (Toni) and dad (Alan) and I still
talk about "Barney" in the cold married quarter with a bag
of coal to last a short time. Dad did 22 years in the army and
finished off in 3 Light Infantry in Minden, Germany as a wo2.
