Bill Brinkley was a cadet in HMS Conway 1929-31
but green blindness prevented a naval career. Instead, he entered Sandhurst in
1932 and was commissioned to the Norfolk Regiment in August 1933, joining the
2nd Battalion in Devonport prior to 6 years service with the 1st Battalion in
India. He served during Northwest Frontier operations, then in Delhi and
Bangalore. In 1940, when he was Adjutant of the Battalion he moved to the United
Kingdom for the defence of London. After attending Staff College Camberley he
was staff employed in Lincoln. He rejoined the 1st Battalion in Scotland and
trained for the landing in Normandy 6th June 1944. He was wounded on a patrol in
Normandy and was evacuated to England. He trained recruits at the Regimental
Depot Norwich. Once his wound healed, he rejoined the Battalion at Kervenheim.
In March 1945 he became a GSO II Instructor at the Staff College, Quetta. His
peacetime service took him to less peaceful places. Evacuated from India on
Independence in 1947, he rejoined the Battalion for service during the airlift
of Berlin. Staff employment in Hong Kong followed when the New Territories were
threatened by the Chinese Army. When this threat receded, he was posted to
Seremban, Malaya for anti-communist operations. He became Second in Command of
1st Battalion The Suffolk Regiment in Trieste and led its families during the
evacuation to Wuppertal due to trouble between Yugoslavia and Italy. When the
families were rejoined by the Battalion, he was moved to Staff employment at the
Headquarters of the British Commonwealth Force Korea in Kure, Japan. He was
appointed to command 1st Battalion The Royal Norfolk Regiment for anti-Eoka
operations in Cyprus. At the end of Eoka activity the Battalion moved to
Iserlohn, Germany where he relinquished his tour of command. In retirement he
served in a variety of Staff appointments in Chester, Exeter and for the last
fourteen years of his retired service he had the Army Band Office in the
Ministry of Defence which moved to the Royal Military School of Music. He
settled in Ricklinghall, Suffolk where he was church warden for a period. He was
also Chairman of the local branch of the Royal British Legion for 12 years. A
strong supporter of all Regimental occasions and activities he was also a keen
golfer.

* This officer has filled
the post of Training Officer, R.E.T.D.
[Royal Engineers Training Depot, Capua, Italy],
since February 1944 and has been responsible for the preparation and
co-ordination of programs for the training of
all the RE reinforcements in Italy, including some 2,000 transfers from the
Royal Artillery since the beginning of December 1944. During a number of peak periods, when there have been up to
1,400 men on training in the Depot simultaneously, his powers of organisation
have been a vital factor in turning out reinforcements whose standard of
training has been invariably very high. His enthusiasm and qualities of
leadership during the whole of the period have inspired his team of N.C.O.
instructors to produce consistently good results over these periods of
high pressure work.
