Gentlemen, it's time we had something like this. The mighty 3rd are gone but not forgotten!
FEAR NAUGHT!!

[a3b]

It's pretty fair to say that the Third lives on in our hearts - no unit ever achieved the family atmosphere that we had. As someone on arrse said - Once a Third Tankie - always one - there are no ex Third Tankies.

[flav]

That is a great comment & I feel what you say is so true..well done

Fear Naught....To all our Family......Thank you

[ironjon]

Never a truer word spoken, we will always be tankies, nobody will ever take that away from us....
once a tankie, always a tankie

[wheresthetimegone]

Good luck with the site

[cobra19]

He will knowwho I am, when you mention the Rogans ( yes both of them Alec & Mary just months apart) send off to the Green Fields. Ithink there was only about three of us there, the third one was "Dobbo"

Aint got a dog, but memorys die hard. Old soldiers die easily. hurts to see that a few not so old wags have passed away,
