Hi everybody Thank you for the welcome .I was in A sqn and was not that familiar with the other sqn and i am terrible with names but remember faces.Was any body in Osnabruck with the 16/5th Lancers while we waited for the regiment to return from Malaya. If anybody remembers Harry Taylor he yoused to call me chrome dome ,i have had contact with him a couple of times over the years but nobody else. looking forward to hearing from you all.John
ReplyDeleteHiJohn dont know if you remember me Ray Brown , have just found a Picture of yourself a chap whos surname was Lawson. myself and Terry Neavsie, in Cyprus 64, when I knew you, you lived at Ockshot, are you still there,on looking at the site you have not changed that much apart from the Fuss on your face, yes I do remember Harry Taylor, am now starting to remember people from our Army Service, also are you still interested in Bikes at the time you had a Beige coloured Norton is that correct, hope to hear from you Ray.
ReplyDeleteHi again John realised my mistake, suddenly realised you used to live at Oxstead in Surrey not Ocshot, sorry about that still good to know you are still around Ray Brown.
ReplyDeleteHi Ray yes i thought you meant Oxted,no i now longer live there .I Went to Aberdare in South Wales when i left the forces and met my wife and lived there for 17yrs then moved to Nailsea near Bristol as work moved and they moved me over.That was the best move ever South Wales not the best place to bring up kids and have a good future.My wife had just done her Midwifery training and got a job at the Bristol Maternity Hospital and the rest is history. As you might have read i am terrible with names but i think i do remember you a photo would help,its funny how today we take photos with our phones or digital cameras but back then very few had a camera. If you can email me a photo of yourself and also of the one of Cyprus that would be great,get back to me and we can chat again. All the best John.
ReplyDeleteHi Scouse thanks the welcome nice to know you are still around hope you are keeping well.Cheers John

Hi John,welcome your the third A sqdn SHQ troop member from Tidworth days I think,perhaps we'll hear from some more .I can guess why you prefer Nailsea to live, its a nice place.
