2019.3.19 Amos Bernard Wong 1971 (F5) School Visit Memory
我在紅十字會的日子:-
我在1965年升上中一時，因見有班人着住套藍色制服，在9樓操場集隊而着迷，就咁在當年11月参加，而在1966年5月宣誓。
當年係12少年團，團長係冼柏華老師，三柴係黄克勤，两柴為黃斯豪占柏臣。
Wow, it's 58 yrs already.(As in year 2020) How time flies. Still remember the time of us changing from junior link 12 to CU7 and have to change all our uniform. Fortunately I'm happy and glad to say that I am THE ONLY ONE that goes thru junior link, cadet, senior member and then full officer in the history of the school's unit. I finished up at 1972 when my then supervising officer Joseph Woo, who was killed in a gas explosions at home. After that, I gave up. Especially Thomas Sin also retired.

Story about the photo above:-
That would be in 1973. The outdoor camping group in the Hqtrs training section. The group in uniform consists of: Dennis Pang (the then training officer), Leo Cheung, Joseph Ng, myself and Karmen Tsui.
We were having an excursion into surveying a suitable campsite for our target of 120 cadets. Antonio Tse joined our meeting in the office and was unprepared for the course.
However, we "convinced" him (Antonio Tse) to help us with the equipment. He duly obliged in helping us to carry them to Sai Kung bus terminus.
When we reached there, he then was convinced in going through with the trip as it's already there. We told him the site was just at the top of the hill 牛頭山 . So he went through with it.
We end up in 大水坑 and followed through onto the other side and came out 馬鞍山. As you all may know, there's no public transport at that time and we took the 街渡 across to the CU and caught the train back to town. The whole trip took 5 days. We of course were prepared for it but unfortunately not for Antonio. He has to wear his underwear for 2 days at a time and wore it inside out for the rest of the days.
However as we came across the site, we found out it's too small so we carried on. He was so deep (involved) into the trip that he can't do anything but to tag along.
That was the fun time at that period. We were always have backpacks ready in the office as we were supposed to be the support team for the campers in the Shek Pik campsite.

RC Bernard Wong: 我應該係紅記第一批完成傷口偽装術，我在英軍九龍塘軍營上堂，跟著喺石崗軍營考試，當年係1970年｡
面包糠，面粉搓成一餅，舖在手或身體任何一部份 ，再噴上一層假皮就可以任你點玩，可加把斷刀当刀傷，噴啲士多啤梨酱就成 open wound etc. (Photo 2, 3, 4 above)
First casualty simulation course at British Military Hospital (BMH) in Hung Hum in 1972.
I was asked by Eric who served from 1989 to 96 about the BMH.
The BMH in my time was in Wylie Rd, near King's Park or rather closer to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (Kowloon side) as far as my memory goes.
We, who were serving in the Headquarter Training Section (HQTS) had our First Aid Proficiency and nursing proficiency badges course held there. Then one day the Colonel in charge mentioned about this casualty simulation course to our then Training Officer Mr Joseph Woo (deceased) and he jumped onto it.
The first course was held in 1972 with only 5 members. Our final exam was to stage a car crash scene with multiple casualties. The BMH provided with all equipment and provisions necessary and turned out to a huge success. Only 2 more courses were held until the time I left the RC in 1976 because the last group of participants violated their privilege and took a couple of ammunition cartridges with them when they left. We only knew it when the BMH requested them the cartridges to be returned. They, with the members responsible were dismissed from the service.
Don't know you guys believe me or not.
I was the only one that have a pass in nursing performing something out of the ordinary.
At the time I was supposed to take the final practical test, I just came out from my appendicitis operation. The examiner gave a wicked smile, this still stuck in my memory, after knowing it and directed me to the pre-operation room and was told to scrub down. By means of scrub down, it was to wash all my exposed body part for no less than 10 minutes before putting on the surgical robes.
Then I was directed into the operation room and in front of me was a pregnant lady on the bed. I went totally wild as to what's up next. I then was told to help the midwife by handling all equipment during the childbirth. Lucky we were taught with all the names and look alike of all equipment during the training.
I passed.
No. I mean I passed the exam, not passed out.
My drilling instructor and examiner's course was held at the then Kai Tak British Air Force base. After a gruelling 14 days of training, we have to camp there during the course, we were all surprised to see our final exam venue.
The examiners said they were all satisfied with our drilling and ordering techniques but needed to fulfill one last hurdle before we were granted a pass. A practical test, or rather a vocal test.
We were told to take 100 steps away from the contingent, then gave a list of commands, we would have a pass if the group can hear the commands or fail if they didn't.
Only 3 members got a pass out of a group of 12 and luckily I was one being passed. Some of you might noticed my voice even now was LOUD, all because of THAT training.
Fookie, Cheung Fook Cheung didn't pass it.
Those were valuable information and experiences you deserved.
Who could have thought having a nursing exam with no proper training was to help in an emergency cesarean. But one thing that helped me was that all equipment were to line up precisely when and what the surgeon needs. So when the doctor yelled out something I just need to pick it up from the tray and passed onto him.
