Thanks for the reply ,the dates are 1953-1955

I was in Catterick camp until early 1953 but do you know which training Regiment he was with or what was his trade.

Basic training doesn't sound correct unless he was infantry, most did their basic training in places like Ponefract then Corps training at Catterick.
