| Hambledon, Hampshire |
| In July 1956 I was in the Royal Navy and stationed at HMS Mercury, which is/was on top of a hill near Petersfield in Hampshire. I was supposed to be doing some sort of training course, but instead played cricket almost every afternoon for the month I was there. The navy used the "Bat and Ball" ground at Hambledon, one of the original English cricket grounds, as their home ground. I bought this postcard in the pub after one of the matches. |
