We had touched on most subjects concerning Army life of those days,and I suppose that it wouldn't be fair not to mention those ladies who were in the background,but very much in the minds of their menfolk. I refer of course to the 'Ball and Chains.! It's amazing how many of these men who were scared of nothing suddenly became gibbering idiots when confronted with the wrath of 'She' that must be obeyed! A wife could make or break you in the Army!....True! Many a good soldier can testify who saw a promising career go sour because of his wife! Some of these women had more power than their husbands! There was a kind of Rank structure within the'Wives Club'. We used to call them 'The Naafia'. The Power behind the Throne,so to speak! You ever noticed how a proverbial sex goddess changes overnight into this ranting and foul mouthed fat repulsive ugly bastard,FRUB for short!...There was one S'NCO's wife who made her husband wear his rank on his pyjamas and have sewn in creases in his bottom attire! What a bitch!...One good thing was that the Officers faired no better than we did!...Some consulation there I think!....Another pads wife used to bring her husband his Sunday dinner in the Battery Club. Usually the dinner was cremated and she used to stand over him while the poor sod had to eat it!....The rest of us cringing in a corner not wishing to further upset this concrete shithouse of a woman!....Its no wonder that I married late in life! They say if you can't take a joke,then you should'nt have joined!....Bloody true in this case I should think?.....What say you?
