What is Aldershot?
In this case, it refers to the Mons Barracks, Aldershot, which was the home of an Infantry Officer Cadet Training Unit (OCTU). It appears to bea a reference to an assignment with not much danger. Also, may refer to “First Camp” at Alderhsot, a ten day pre-induction training period with medical examinations and military training. Again, not much danger, compared to India’s sunny clime. see: http://www.heureka.clara.net/surrey-hants/ald-shot.
