Yes Don A very Big Welcome to Capt Bucknall that goes with out saying,like you Don he will all ways be Capt. Bucknall to me.The only one I can say I knew was Sgt. Baguley he was at Carlisle in July 1956 along with Major Greaves another real Gentleman also three real characters . Sgt's Mush Stanley,Weston, & Wood's. Keith Shaw.
Itoo remember those 3 sgt s at carlisle, but all 3 rejoined reg in 57.Sgt Woods was 5 troop sgt Asqn and mush Stanley also came to A sqn bot he was demoted to Cpl soon after joining reg. John
When I commanded the assault Troop in "B" Sqn Mush Stanley was my Corporal,he had a habit of stopping the boys getting bored on exercise's by digging with their bajonets for mines!!!And sleeping sentries were woken up by some of his explosive devices,I think he had a private supplier of explosives? -------- Don
Congratulations ,quite a momentous celebration. Can you post the names of the officers who served 1946 to 1953 ?. Glad to have you in the group, kind regards Don 190
