Thanks Guys
Will get these names added to the role............... Cpl Jarvis rings a bell.
Chris , freewebs clock has not been right since the time change, I am sure they will get round to GMT eventually. Looks like east coast USA TIME
Bob. Thanks for the hasty reply, as I thought, updating the nominal roll. While on the subject, I have'nt seen Tony Rogers MT on there.!!!! And as I remember, is'nt Geordie Alderton actually Barry "Geordie" ALDERSON. ? Anyone know for sure. ?
Regards to all Dave the Rave
Just looked through the Squadron nominal roll - two names come to mind that are missing Geordie Stevenson (Cpl Clerk in Squadron Office) - Brian Mattinson (Spr was driver for Zero Alpha APC) - this could be confirmed by Doughy Baker - I spent many a lonely night with them both at brigade HQ updating Maps etc whilst on exercise.
There was a Cpl Jarvis (I think 3 Troop not sure though) Bernie

Hi guys. Can't seem to be able to access the Sqn nominal role, anyone know why, or is it just my PC playing up.!!! Thought it might be offline being updated.? To Chris Ellis, not going where your going, but we have been, it's very windy, great if you like windsurfing.

Anybody going to Furteoventura (I think that could be spelled wrong) for Christmas
Returned home from finishing a job in London to read some good news and some bad. Glad to hear one of my dads is responding to treatment and doing well, Brummie, you don't know how chuffed it makes me feel to hear that.
Geordie, I am saddened to hear of Marie's problems and hope thateverything works out well.
After doing a job some weeks ago for a lady who underwent the chemo treatment and to see with my own eyes her response and recovery, I am reassured that this thing is beatable and that things will work out.

Dear Dave. Picture 48 was a no-no I agree. But it was such a rare occasion to see so many " Chunkies" bamboozled at the same time, that I mischeviously took the photo.!!!!! Im fairly sure the un-named Corporal would know some of the names. Who is HE.? And was I right about Tony Rogers, it was a long time ago, to be fair. When you get to a certain age, you forget 2 things, one is your memory, and I cant remember what the other thing is.!!!!
Regards to all Dave the Rave
Think the cpl may be Scoffer Scofield was in 2 tp for a while
I also think the Rogers is Ray Rogers he spent many happy hours in that stream including setting it on fire one day

GEORDIE AND MARIE, OUR THOUGHTS AND BEST WISHES FOR YOU FROM MYSELF AND CHRISTINE..
Message for Marie and Geordie Tate. Only you two can know the awful anguish you are going through. I only have the experience of my Sister in Law to recount. She has made a full recovery, so it happens.!!! Have Faith and Good Luck to you and you family.
Fond Regards.
Chris and Dave Ravey, also Johnny Greenhalgh from Plant Troop.
Message for Geordie Tate - My wife has had the same problem as your good wife and after a short operation of removing the infected bits they were found to be chalk - but a five year three monthly visit to the Hospital ensued until the all clear was given. I wish you and your good wife the best of luck and hope your result is the same as ours . Richard Baker
Brummie
Thank goodness you have some good news or else I would stop logging on to read only bad news.
Pleased the experts are saying the treatment is working. Keep up the fight.
Ray
Geordie Tate

Brummie says...Hi Geordie.
I am very sorry that this has happened to your dear Marie. Try to stay positive and give her all the support and more if you can in some of the dark moments that will follow. I know from my own experience it is not easy to stay positive If I did not have Carol for my sole mate I would have fallen to bits right now. Stay focused ! I have Chemo No 10 tomorrow and I'm told it is working and I hope all the suffering I am going through has some positive effect. OUR VERY BEST WISHES & HOPE YOU HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS AFTER THE OPERATION. Stay strong!! Carol & Tony Crawford
Hi Brum good to see you back on the site. Stll has not rained here since you left in fact it has been hotter, suppose thats global warming for you. Good luck with last session and speak soon DB

So sorry to read about your bad news. I just hope everything goes well for you both. I hope the next time I go on the site the news will be better.
Good luck
Cat
Half Pissed thanks Dave its still hard to knock out of your mind my hope is shes their to greet every one at Ramside night all
Hi Geordie T Hope everything goes well for you both over next few days,Positive is what everyone tells me you need to be in this situation but thats easy to say when its not you thats so closely involved.
Best of luck mate
Well i am back to chief bottle washer,dog walker,cook and cleaner Marie my good lady was admitted to hospital today with that shit desease Cancer and goes through a operation tomorrow to dig a couple of lumps out i will keep you informed as to what happens as it may affect my running of our reunion with lots of luck and a bloody good Doctor i hope it will turn out OK.
I spoke to Brummie at the beginning of last week and he was on day 2 of three of his 9th session of chemo. He said that he would feel shit for a few days and then start to pick up as he became due again. (every third week I think). Not bad for a bloke they said wasn't worth treating. We should all be taking notice because none of us are more than a few years behind and the bastards won't treat us any different when it comes to our turn. Are we too old to start a revolution?
Andy,have you been talking to my brother Brian?,he tells me you want to speak to me next week!I am in New Mexico,6 hours behind you.I will be working up range all next week (White Sands Missile Range) so it is best to contact me via e-mail.I hope to see you at the next re-union.Best regards,Sammy.
Andy (Anderson) says...Has anybody got any news about how Brummie is doing?
Brummie,
Had Carol and Brum over a few weeks ago he is still having chemo which is knocking hell out of him every week.He should finish the sessions shortly and then he can find out what is happening a bit more clearly .
Has anybody got any news about how Brummie is doing?
Slim.
Yes I remember you, you were not easy to miss.!!! Were you also in 2 Armd Sqn, at Iserlohn.?? I also have a vague memory of bumping into you, in The Salt Box cafe, when I was Driver training for Bass Brewer, am I mistaken.!!!!!! If everything works out ok, me and Johnny Greenhalgh will meet up with you all again in Durham. Sorry about the delay, but we just got back from a week's Hols.
