hello to all who are still wIth us

No particular message just thought I would say hello. For those who do not know me 1963 - 1971 Pembroke Dock, Lippatadt and Devizes. HQ Battery Clerk, RHQ Clerk and latterly 49 Battery Clerk. Left the Regiment in 1971 and went on to serve at the RA Wing Bovington, HQRA 1 Div (Verden),25 Fd Regt (Munsterlager). HQRA 1 Div (second tour) and latterly as Chief Clerk 103 AD Regt (V) in West Derby, Liverpool. I was discharged on pension in April 1982. Any one else who would like to say HELLO?

Re: hello to all who are still wIth us

Hello Alan. A bit of a lone voice on this board. I rarely drop in now because it is months between posts, only one other besides yours in 7 months! My Inkerman site doesn't fare much better but I do have a hardcore of about 10 that regularly take part in the daily quiz and post the odd message and it has become more of a private blog for me now, especially as I have taken over the responsibility of paying for it. I'm still trying to keep it "Membership only" in the hope of maintaining a bit of privacy for members and I have toyed with the idea of throwing it open to the public, with all the risks that that may entail, but am resisting it for now. Nice to see you are still around though. Unfortunately, we belong to a fast disappearing generation so it's a pleasure to see old comrades pop up on the web now and then. Take care Alan and I hope to hear from you again. Perhaps you might consider re-joining us on the Screaming Eagles site?

Re: hello to all who are still wIth us

Hello Jimmy, nice to see you still around too. Sadly, we are getting thin on the ground now so all the more reason to keep in touch.

Re: hello to all who are still wIth us

Hi David it is good to see you are still tapping the keys. I have not posted for a long time so it is nice to get a response. UYes, you are right about our numbers diminishing. I myself have suffered with Parkinsons Disease for the past 5 years but medication appears to be holding it at bay. Good to hear from you so keep plugging on! Regards

Re: hello to all who are still wIth us

Hi Jimmy (favorite BSM, good to hear from you. I was in Munsterlager with 25 Fd Regt for 3 years until being posted to HQRA 1 Div in Verden in 1977. My last post was with 103 Regt in Liverpool but I did no know that you had prceeded me there in the post of RSM. Good to hear from you Jimmy, best regards
