The Keighlian

Is there a location for all past copies of "The Keighlian". I am looking in particular for a humerous poem printed in an issue sometime (I think) in 1957 which started as follows. " Join the army and learn a trade, Adventure Travel and get paid etc etc. I would be grateful for some help in this

I think I have the Keighlian for that year but as I leave for the UK in few hours it will be Mid May before I can look it up . As for past copies of the magazine I have a fair number and will list them on the site when I return.

Fantastic Mike and particularly Chris. I remember seeing this whilst doing my National Service in Cyprus in 1955/6. I did recall seeing it in "The Keighlian" and am pleased you have managed to dig it out. Other people have searched for this on the internet without success although one person recalls the first few lines but related to the RAF. I suppose it is relevant to anyone who did 2 years NS.Thanks again.
