                He was one of my corporals in recruit coy,then came back to Mortars in Osnabruck.He then transfered to,I think,The Worcester And Sherwood Forresters,due to injuries.The next time we met he was their MTWO at Ballykelly over here,and took me for my HGV3 test,about 1989.That was the last I saw of him.
