Hi,
Its the first time I have ever posted anything.............not sure if I have done this right.
It will be a year on the 30th July since I lost my dad.......
He is ex 3RTR and served from 1948 to 1954, including some time in Hong Kong.
This seemed a good place to remember him...........some guys will probably know him from the 3RTR association in Kingskerswell (near Newton Abbot)
thanks all.
Chico Perkins

I think it would be nice Alf if you published the names of everyone on this photo I recognised a few on there but not all, I will await your answer which I hope will be soon.

The service is getting so much better it shows you haven't got a lot on these days , anyway I presume that photo was taken either in Bovington or Paderborn may even be Tidworth but I don't recognise the building in the background , Fearnaught.

I can't see any mention of Fallingbostel in any script about this article plus when we left Fally in 1976 Clunk was still only a Sgt or S/Sgt also that building in the background is bit new for Fally , apart from that has anyone heard how Tony is as it seems to have gone rather quiet since he became ill.
Regards Tex
