Re: Looking for muckers
Hi Reg, I to served in the 23rd fld reg from 1953-55, and I to was on the rifle team at one time, and I do seem to remember your name. I was in CTroop serving under Lt Sprague and Sgt /mj Newel. and like you went up to Otterburn to fire at some targets at sea, then on to that hell hole...SUEZ, where I spent the rest of my army service living on my nerves,(like the rest of us) with being shot at from time to time. I have just had a email from Glen Clarke who came to the Regiment just as we where leaving for Suez, and he has kept in touch with me for some years now. (Sadley he has just lost his wife Sylvia and is in a deep depression at the moment). My wife and I use to go on holidays with them both up till last year. I live in a Lancashire town named St Helens who have a very good Rugby leigue team. Thats it for now Reg, I use skype if you are on it, and my user name is...(terry122) if you want to call me for a chat. Bye for now to you and yours. Regards Terry Hanley.(ex gnr).
