I mean we didn't have a civilian ah uniform-- civilian clothes when we left
the school so the only clothes we had when we left school was in our school
uniform, and all the other boys came in their civilian clothes and we had no
civilian clothes so we went from school uniform straight into Army uniform.
So we went out of one uniform into another. We was-- we were used to it,
that was our way, and I remember the first night there, a lot of sobbing
going on in the dormitory, or in the... the army hut, where boys were
missing their mums and they were homesick. But our boys weren't homesick
because we... we were used to being disciplined or whatever, and we had
nothing to cry about so we lis-- we listened to the other boys sobbing as
they went to sleep, missing their home. Well we had nothing to cry about.
