1957 Bovington

Hi

I'm trying to trace an ex Royal "PATRICK BELL" 22841908, passed out Bovington 1957.

Possibly went to Malaya.

Patrick came from the Ribchester area Lancs.

I've posted this information on behalf of A Mr Alan Gatenby from Bedale North Yorkshire, he did his basic training with Patrick and was in the next bunk.

Any info photo etc I will be pleased to pass on so they can both renew contact if they so wish.

many thanks

    Pat was SCM " C" Sqn Blues & Royals Windsor, Posted to Knightsbridge as RQMC. I lost contact with Dinger after that. I am sure that Stu Sibley could help.
