Hope that covers it
Now, let's sit back awhile and talk about........Me!!
In 1975 I fulfilled my childhood ambition and joined the Army. Having completed my first 12 months as a ‘boy soldier’ at the Royal Armoured Corps Junior Leaders Regiment at Bovington in Dorset, in 1976 I went into adult service as a 'Tankie' with the 3rd Royal Tank Regiment (known as ‘The Westcountry’s Own’ or ‘The Armoured Farmers’) to serve on Main Battle Tanks, eventually as a commander, until 1990. I now live with my family on Merseyside and create artwork in my ever decreasing amount of spare time. Unfortunately 3RTR ceased to exist in 1992 when it amalgamated with 2RTR but, the Regiment's family spirit lives on amongst my friends and myself and regularly, reunions keep our spirit of 'belonging' alive and well!

I followed in my father’s footsteps and joined the Tanks, after he had completed service from 1950 to 59 in the Sixth before he went to the Third on amalgamation leaving the colours in early 1981 after 30 odd years service. I joined the Third in 1982 and served until the amalgamation in 1992 going on to the Second in Fallingbostel. I still wear Black coveralls and run a Challenger 2 simulator building for tank gunnery in the Midlands.

Described by our leader Pecker (Admin Webmaster) as being all seeing all hearing whilst still being able to keep a view on daily posts and up dates. Up to a point yes says I thinking that Press Gangs were a thing of the past. Clearly our Pecker is having non of that and remembers well that gangs of soldiers or sailors were sent out to enforce naval or military service on able bodied but unwilling men, usually by violent coercion. Well that’s our Pecker a one man press gang doing his best to make FearnaughtIII a successful and interesting site for one and all so of course I am happy to help were ever possible.
Amongst other things and what may loosely be connected to military history is another passion of mine family history to that end if any one has family connections with military personnel killed in the last two world wars I would be happy to see if I can find any further information regarding their deaths.

without his knowledge our facts and dates would not be correct
