To David Ross I do not remember you but some of the lads might, I left in 1969. We are having a reunion sometime in March don't know where or date yet, if you have any photos of yourself in Malaysia or any of the lads would appreciate you sending them to me my e-mail address is bettywells44@yahoo.co.uk that is all lowercase. You say you remember WO betts myself and Jimmy Jones remember him and wo Rooney. I am sorry for being so long in replying no excuses just me getting old. I was wondering if you knew where WO Betts lives, and where do you live now I could tell you where most of the lads live that are coming to the reunion anyway all for now hope you have a happy New Year from Ron Wells, I am from Birmingham

This was sad news to hear that Chad Gibbons past away. His funeral will be at the Forest of Dean crematorium 23rd of June at 1130 if anyone would like to go I will see you there. I am sure there will be a lot of people from the Army and the services that he knew at the funeral, this is because he was a liked and loved a lot by all people. My condolences go to the family as it will be missed by all. Chad loved football a little drink and good company and a good laugh I will miss him. All for now Ron Wells.
