"Hi all you lads from 1R.Hamps, I am Mick Smith, I was with the DERR in the early to mid 70's, did my training at Whittington Barracks,Lichfield, want to trace an old mate by the name of SAUNDERS, we used to call him SARGE, he is about 5' 6", very deep gruff voice, originates from Derby I believe. Last seen in Gough Barracks, Armagh in 1974 'ish,can anyone remember him? better still, anyone know where he is so I cancontact him? Cheers lads.......... Smudger"

Colour party Tidworth


Speech by The Bishop of Winchester

"No one knows better, than a soldier the horrors of war,and its evil. It is a strange paradox that out of the misery and wretchedness of war some of the finest human qualities can emerge. Courage, yes; comradeship in adversity, the determination to over come in dreadful conditions, unselfishness, trust and relience on one another, the refusal to let others down; a strong bond between Officers, NCOs and Private soldiers; without false sentiment, a band of brothers."
(a snippet from the right reverend Colin James)
