Bill Slater. 

Tony saw him in Catterick the night he saw Len Tewesbury. Some help that is. He also used to live in Jamaica.

Is from Darlington

But I always think of brandy when I think of Dick - the lethal local variety commonly called (rather politically incorrectly) Noggie Brandy! He was from Sutton Coalfield.

Jim was an army brat and I believe his full name is Charles James or the other way round. His father was I believe in the ACC. He was a boy soldier with the AAJLR in Wales. Actually someone else has asked me about him and I have as yet been unable to find much out. I last heard from him when we were in Aldershot and he wrote saying he was coming to Aldershot on a course.

Was married to Jim but I think they are divorced now. She was from Scarborough and I have a feeling that she was ex army - possibly an officer. We were quite friendly for some time and then I went back to the UK. We wrote for a while but have now lost touch for many years. She has 2 children called Tracy and Adrian I believe.

Jock McNeil

Last seen at John Plummers wedding in Melbourne. He is useful if only to find where the shoe designer is these days. Ken Mack has had no luck what ever so far.

He was D&E Platoon and previously was Scots Guards I believe. John and Barbara were my neighbours in camp - Stevenson Avenue. They were from Crewe but I believe john went donw south to work at Butlins or Pontins. He married again and Barbara has never seen hide nor hair of him since the 70's.

All I can remember of John was that he was a charming young National Serviceman and an excellent crickter.

Ken was from somewhere like Bolton or Burnley

We believe he was from Cumbria. Jan Hamilton saw him in Germany and he had been in a bad  RTA and did not look too good.  Charles Kemp – dropped the Mckinley, served at 2^nd Armoured Div HQ and Sig Regt Bunde, Germany from about 1980 as a squadron commander. His CO was the now Master of Signals Sam Cowan. His 2 i/c was a Capt. Jimmy Akehurst and his WO2 was a guy called Fendley.

Married very young and consequently the Brit army would not let him bring his wife out here, which is a silly way of doing things.

Michael Julian Davidson-French

Norrie Brett

Paddy Makin

He was last heard of in Blandford in 1974/77 as a civvy. Bill Napier (ex 2 Div) used to drink with him regularly when Bill was with 30 Sigs.

Scouse Williams (Snr) 543

Scouse Williams (Jnr)

Sgt. Stuart

Quite a few people would love to see Tat again. . He drank beer very quietly and seriously - at least that was always my impression. Away from my house he could have been terribly rowdy but I doubt it. He was from near Manchester - maybe Ashton and an ex-Denbury Boy.

Willie used to sit and talk to me and he was the type of young man who could talk and talk. We have been looking for him for months and we only found out recently that his real name was Peter. He was from County Durham originally

Jeff Poulter

His claim to fame was that his wife after a very short time here and in the same evening (April 1968) threw a drink over Squiz and gave Sam a blasting for not allowing women in the compound.

Sgt in Alpha Troop

Jean was the wife of Terry Davies who was made up to Sgt while were there. They had lots of parties like we did and lived on Edinburgh Road. They were Southerners but nice with it!!!

Jeff Hawkins

He was Brit in the Aussie Army  and a friend of Rich Squire I believe, and that is all I know until someone tells me some more. Robert Fellowes told me that Len served with 110 Signal Squadron in South Vietnam from Jul-Nov 1968.

He was a cipher queen and never went out in the sun.

Ted was a Brit and W.O. Y of Sigs in 208 from about 1965 to 1969.

Harry Pearson was in 208 from 1966 – 68 and he was a Cpl. Cypher OP, then he went to Singapore. He was married to Velda and was from the Birmingham area.

The Gaffer

He came from Middlesborough and supported Middlesborough FC. He had spent a considerable time in Germany and drank huge quantities of Loewenbrau. He was married and his wife was brilliant company. 

He was a Scot and I believe he was going back to Blandford after Cyprus

Smiler

The Hampshire Cricketer couldn't wait to get out to go and play for Hampshire - I think he had Barbadian connections but I'm not sure.

I am sure he was a Geordie but I could be mistaken.
