WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

L/Bdr BILL HENDERSON

Delta Troop

What happened to some of the 
Old Pals who served with us?

Fortunately some of those we remember
from 47 Regt. Royal Artillery and the 
REME Workshops, stationed in 
Napier Barracks, Dortmund 
about 1957 - 1966 (or thereabouts) 
have found us, and
their stories are presented here.

Hi Bill,
Many thanks for leaving a message on my website.
My sincere apologies for not replying sooner; I really have no reasonable excuse 
other than pre-occupation with a sedate retirement!
I originally started the website because I could find absolutely nothing on the 
Internet of  47 Regt at the time - it was as if it had never existed.
 The first few pages were devoted to the REME Workshops but I started to hear 
from gunners too, which surprised me but then  I realised they couldn't find 
anything about 47 Regt either. Ken McNaughton was one of the first to write, but 
then I lost contact with him several years ago.
I heard from George Harrison for the first time last year - he gave his e-mail 
address as xxxxx@hotmail.co.uk but I'm afraid I haven't heard from any of 
the others on your list. Yet.
I hope you make contact with George - please let me know if you do.
Also, I would appreciate any memories or stories that would help to fill 
up a few more pages.
Best regards,
John
