I also remember Lennie, quite harmless sort of chap, but someone told me some years later that he wasn't a tramp but someone who served in the army? I remember a bdr Scouse Getty taking him in a rover and dumping him by Palace Baracks, he was attached to us from 24 Missile Regt, him and his lads thought it very funny, but lennie was still back in his same place a few hours later. It makes you wonder.
