Keith had the unique experience of serving in both the Royal Navy and the British Army as a young man. Although he only served for a short time in the Navy, the experiences and training he received stood him in good stead and influenced him for the rest of his life. This became a mainstay for his future Army Service,
and made him the person he is today. This is Keith’s story of his training at HMS Raleigh and Woolwich, and his experiences of life as a young Gunner in the Royal Artillery.
