Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

The article states that the school in Bodmin was run by the Army and Caterham by the Navy. However, according to a plaque at Bodmin military museum the town was the location of the RAF school (I was there a couple of weeks ago), and Caterham is an Army station. These are maybe the wrong way around? -- Necrothesp 11:47, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
The CO at Bodmin in 1953 was an Army officer the 2nd in command was a naval officer. As the camp was contiguous with the DCLI depot no doubt it was supported by the Army. The annual inspection was carried out by the Army. Seadowns (talk) 11:23, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The 18-month courses started, for the first year, at either Cambridge or London. Plain clothes were worn, not uniform. After one year, pupils were moved to Bodmin, for six months, and had to go back to uniform. Military discipline at Bodmin was very light. By 1956 Crail in Fife had replaced Bodmin.
At the end of the course there was an exam. set by the Civil Service Commission, by which pupils could qualify as simultaneous interpreters. I think only about 1%-2% qualified as first-class, but all would have had a fairly decent ability in Russian.
After discharge from full-time National Service there were still three years in each of which one had to return to the forces for one fortnight's refreshment training. Former JSSL personnel did this at Bodmin or Crail.
