"It was common knowledge that all Cadets were treated the same during my time with the BI."

Had I been transferred to a cadet ship I probably would have served out my working life at sea.

Indeed.

On this ship is the qualifier. And i would add = both cadet ships.

Bullying ofd apprentices in Australia is alive and well as I can attest to.

One of my grandsons was bullied and the case is to go before the courts - we hope.

The following lines were cut by a soldier in a stone sentry-box at Gibraltar: 

"God and the soldier all men adore. 
In time of trouble, and no more; 
For when war is over, 
And all things righted, 
God is neglected; 
And the old soldier slighted."
