EMAIL ME WITH YOUR SUCCESS STORIES, THAT IS WHAT THIS SITE IS ABOUT.  RE-UNITING LOST MATES.

Nobby Clarke meets up with a old friend Alan (Sticks) Hill after 48 years.

 

 

I have  just been browsing the web site and came across your web page. I understand you are interested in successful stories of reunions and people finding each other.
 
We were all stationed in Singapore with 4 coy WRAC at Tanglin from 1965 to 1967. We have been successful in contacting several of our friends who were stationed in Singapore at the same time.
 
We have a yearly reunion dinner in October and last year a few of us made the trip back to Singapore to visit our old barracks and go down memory lane. We all got very emotional when we saw our old barracks. Today it is derelict and guarded. Do you remember the Phoenix NAAFI club on Tanglin Camp.
 
Our names are Sally Lowman, Lesley Annable, Dawn Potter, Oillie Gerrard, Toots, Nell Thompson. At the time we used to go about with guys from 95 Commando.
 
We remember Singapore with very fond memories. When we returned last year we couldnt believe how Singapore had changed even Boogie Street!! 

 

Dear Annie
My wife and I have this weekend been up to Yorkshire to meet Pete Keddie and his wife. Pete I had not seen for Forty-Four years he was Radio Operator in the same section as myself in 11 Ind Field Sqn RE, this was only achieved with your help and the first class web you run.
It goes without saying we had a great time and talked long into the night with the help of some Tiger Beer ! 
We are to meet again in October at the 11 Sqn reunion in Bath and also meet up with the other old friends that you have put us in touch with.
Many many thanks
Richard (Nobby) Clarke

My grandfather, Arthur William Edwards, has recently died and while we were going through some of his old photos we found some of a man, who was clearly a good friend for a number of years. We think he is called "Nobby" Clarke - 26 Medium Battery, Royal Artillery. We have also found a photo of our grandfather and some called Ironside, taken in Bombay 25th April 1943.

 My grandfather served in Burma, Malaya, India, South Africa. He was a sergeant... but we would dearly like to hear from anyone who can tell us more.

 Please contact: Dawn Street at Frush54@yahoo.co.uk

I am trying to trace anyone who may have known my Dad his name is Rinaldo Ivan Kelly and he was a member of the RAF 230 Squadron approx late 50's early 60's he was i believe in the RAF's swim team also maybe in RAF Kumalo and he also served in Luqa and Malta I think! One of his most vivid memories was of being in a helicopter crash (a Whirlwind) in approx 1963 when he broke his back.  He has quite a photo collection from his travels and I have attached a few to see if anyone remembers anything from them.  Anyways any help would be appreciated as I know my Dad would love to hear from any of his old friends.

Hi, I’m hoping to find the whereabouts of an old friend Dusty Millar/Miller. He was in the Jungle Warfare School in Johore, Malaysia sometimes in the ’60. I remember him as a very shy kind of guy, average height, slim and handsome. He left for England shortly after he met me, and I left for Kuala Lumpur a month after his departure. Years later I found out that he wrote me a letter, but said letter was never forwarded to me. I would like to find Dusty and tell him that I am sorry for not getting back to him and hope all is well with him. He can get in touch with me at l.werner23@gmail.com I have been living in the States for the last thirty odd years.    Lisa Werner

 I came across your website and am writing this in the hope that someone might just know a friend of ours my sister Candy and I.  We met Clive Williams a.k.a Taffy who was serving in Rasah Camp, in Seremban,  Malaysia between 1966 to 1968.  We think he was in the Light Regiment.  We believe he was serving in Sarawak before that, so he may have been with the 40th Light Regiment.. (not sure).  We know the last four digits of his army number was 2200.  Candy seems to recall his birthday as August 1946 or 1947.  He had an older brother called Oliver and a sister named Julie.  He also met and knew my ex-husband David Hughes who was also in the Army in those days but not is erving in the same unit.  The friends Taffy used to "hang around " with in those days were Brian Eddy, George Welling, Fred Humphries, "Half Pint" Reynolds and Steve Marriott.  They may all have been with the same regiment.
 If anyone knows of his whereabouts please would they email me or call my mobile on 07904580233?  We would dearly love to get in touch with Taffy.
 Thank you.

My father, Major Denis O Faulkner QORWK, served in Malaya approx 1953/1955 and took some cine film which I have now had transferred onto DVD.

 There are two jungle patrols featuring A company 1st Royal Hampshire Regiment in 1954.  I also have a letter from a Sergeant J Wiles returning some 20 negatives of the patrol and would therefore like to contact him or anyone else in the patrol.

 There is also a film of a Queens Birthday Parade in Malaya in 1954 although I cannot identify the various regiments taking part.

 If any of these are of interest to anyone out there please could they contact me via webmaster as you suggest to avoid spam emails.  I have today sent a copy of the DVD to The Royal Hampshire Regiment Museum and the QORWK Museum.

 Mrs Henrietta Taylor   webmaster@nmbva.co.uk

I am delighted to at last be able to confirm that I am in touch with someone from the Royal Hampshire’s A Company who is in my father’s cine film of a jungle patrol taken in Malaya in May 1955.  He has given me the names of all those in the film and I hope to contact the rest through him in the next month.  It means a lot to me to have achieved this after first finding the cine films over two years ago.  It has also been a pleasure to hear from others who had served there and for whom I understand the film has provided some happy memories.

I found your website on the internet and wondered if you might be able to
help. I am searching for my great uncle, Frederick Walker Jackson who served
in the RASC, his last posting being in Malaya in 1948 where he was a
corporal. I have been told that it's probably that he was in 24 company but
wondered if there was anyone out there who knew him or anything about him.
His service number was S/14961894. He was the youngest brother of my
grandmother who has recently died and later emigrated out to Australia due
to family problems so I am desperate to know if he is still alive or to
learn any information I possibly can about him.
Many thanks

I am searching for  the family of a fellow who was in the Green Jackets (?)  in Penang Malaysia from about 1966 through to 1968.

Children were” Lee”  born in October 1958  (Norwich area)
Carrie  (Karen?) born 1960
Ally (Angela) born 1962
 The children went to Minden Barracks British school on Penang.
 I believe Alan Jackson may have served some time in Germany before being posted to Malaysia.
 They were wonderful friends and I have never forgotten them.  I have tried unsuccessfully for years to find them .
 I was hoping you would help.
 My name is Debbie Horrocks  (I was Debbie Pope when we lived in Malaysia).

I am trying to find information on my biological father. Despite being able to trace him down in 1987, our contact was short-lived and he told me very little about himself.
 He's Albert John Radcliffe HAYCOCK, known as "Rad" or "Raddie", born 21 Dec 1927 in Lambeth, Greater London. His father was John Walter Haycock, former teacher/Scots Guard (born 1901 Liverpool) and his mother Emily Esther Rosewell (1905 Shepperton). He has a brother James/Jim and a sister Sarah/Sally (?) both several years younger than him. Rad lived in The Netherlands as a young boy, and his brother Jim was born there.
 My father once showed me a picture of the time he served with the RAF in Malaysia, which must have been somewhere between 1946-1948, as he was a young man still. He had green/brown eyes, chestnut hair, stood about 1.75 mtrs and was slight of build.
 Character traits: feeling for languages (spoke Malaysian and Dutch), witty, intelligent, gift of the gab, and possibly a ladies man.
 My 10 year old son Jim (his grandson, whom he knows nothing about) wants to know more about this elusive grandfather of his, as I do as well, and I'm trying to build a picture for him.
 If anyone has info about, or remembers him from his time in Malaysia, please contact me!
 With friendly greetings,
 Kya Milo Fryslân, The Netherlands

HAROLD (HARRY) HESP. RAF MERGUI 1945 -1947
   I am trying to find anyone who may remember my father  who was a Medic with RAF at 69 STAGING POST, RAF STATION MERGUI, from 1945 - 1947.    He is now 82 years old and it would delight him if I could manage to find anyone of his old comrades.
  He was also known as 'Doc'.  He has mentioned to me the names of Sgt. Chatterton, Flt. Lt. Thompson and Commanding Officer Alan Wood.  He still has a letter from C.O.. Wood, and says he was the last Commanding Officer to leave Mergui.
   Previous to being in Burma, my father was in the DD Landings and landed on Juno Beach with the Canadians.  From there he went on through France to Belgium.  For any old comrade who may remember my father, Harold (Harry - Doc) Hesp, please contact me on my email address.  It would make his dream come true.  Many thanks.  Ann Wilkinson.
