Where is my mate Paul Graver!
Now, I ask you all, where is my mate Paul Graver....or should I say 'RoyalDragoon'! He has been very quiet and he hasn't sent me any email.....not that I answer emails all that often anyway, but I do like reading them. Do you think he could have laryngitis????
Mr Graver, I will be in Perth next week so get the guest room ready....I'm not paying for hotel rooms when I have free accommodation at the Graver residence and I don't eat much and as I don't smoke you won't find any cigarettes in your swimming pool....lol.

I would like to say.....welcome!

Another sad day RIP Tony
Sadly, Ex Boy Soldier Tony Watts, from the good old Wesendorf days passed away yesterday 8th November, 2008
There were only ever 4 'Royals' Boys at Wesendorf, myself (Stan) Jim Meike, Tony Watts and Pat Burgess. Jim Meikle and myself are now the only two left!
Being a 'Royals' Boy was a tough act to follow!
For example: If a Boy was caught smoking at Wesendorf it was an instant 7days Jankers!!!!!! - I think I Blancoed Dixey Lewis's web belt more times than his own Batman!
On a more positive note, we had to report at 11am daily to the cookhouse where Dixey gave us a cheese sandwich and a cup of cocoa - to the envy of the rest of the regiment I might add!
Tony was found dead in his car after telling his wife he was going out for a while.
I hope to be able to attend Tony's funeral as a Royals/TRBL standard bearer.
Tony lived in Rochester, Kent.
If anyone has Jim Lees's email address, would they please forward this to him.
As for the above picture, which I took in 2007 - Cheers TONY!
Stan and Terry Whitworth
Mick Lock
I have received a phone call today to inform me of the death of Mike Lock after a long illness bravely born although not on the site but met up with him two years ago at the North Staffs Dinner, my thoughts go out to his wife and family at this sad time.

My latest toy added today to my collection
Today I took delivery of 1953 M38A1 Willy Jeep Complete with Radio Set up. When I viewed the Jeep a couple of weeks ago I did not look under the Radio Cover. And today to my Surprise what did I find a, Complete C42 Set. A'm I a happy old soldier. The Jeep has been up on Blocks for about 2 years, very dusty and needs some TLC. I plan to have it in Parade Condition by April.

Brisbane Welcomes Dick Cox
A few members from Brisbane gathered to have lunch with Richard (Dick) Cox - Life Guard and his partner Irene, who are currently holidaying near Brisbane and to show our Brisbane hospitality. Although 7 attended but we all had fun, great conversation and some good laughs and most of all the food was delicious and plenty of drinks.
Dick presented a framed Life Guard plaque to put up on the wall once the Australasian Association gets launched. On behalf of all members I would like to thank Dick for his lovely gift and this will be displayed at future functions.
Once again, it was worth the effort just to see the smiling faces.

BBs
Hi Derek
Thanks for the response.......will leave you to talk it over. Yes we have now admitted any interested 'Blues and Royals'...who were neither 'Blues' or 'Royals' if they have an interest in the history of one of their old regiments, we also admit 'Royals-Attached personel' and surviving family members of 'Royals'...but we do not admit ex-Blues......Blimey.!!!!!.....we even admitted "JENNYBOB".
All the best & stay lucky.......Mike.
BB,s
Mike i will have a chat to my Admin lads see what they think.we do need to keep this SITE as ROYALS ONLY i hear you have BLUES AND ROYALS and few more army types on ur BB. anyway will let you know.in one way its a good idea regards derek

AFV Eagle Transfer
Another item from Bandrat’s collection is this AFV regimental decal – I have 2 as per facing collar dogs. I cannot remember where I got these but I am sure it was when I was in Detmold 1966-1968. On the back it is printed Gale & Polden Ltd & ‘Soak transfer in tepid water for about a minute and slide from paper’.

BB Memberships
Hi Derek
Just like to run this suggestion past you for consideration?????? Would it be a good thing for all members from both 'Royals BBs' to register their names on both BBs. Just in case disaster strikes one or the other. As long as there is a link on both sites to the other then they can move freely and easily between the two......if they miss something on one then they can pick it up on the other. Give it a thought and see what you think.
Regards......Mike.
REMEMBERENCE DAY
| Start: | Nov 11, '08 10:00a |
