Message from Ron Cassidy:

It is the intention of The Rifle Brigade Association to hold an event commemorating the Fiftieth Anniversary of the last campaign of 3 Green Jackets, The Rifle Brigade, Borneo-1965/66, in the year 2015.This also the year of the two hundredth anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo in which the 95th distinguished them selves so well.

To enable me to provide the type of function appropriate for the occasion it is requested of all who served in the battalion in Borneo or were on the Rear Party at Felixstowe, to get in touch with Major Ron Cassidy. The information required is for planning purposes to understand numbers who might attend and where the function could be held.

 

When indicating your likely attendance, please submit:

a.      Initials, name, home address.

b.      Telephone number. (Landline)-I do not use a mobile.

c.       Accompanied by wife/partner

d.      Platoon and Company in Borneo/Rear-party.

e.      Your e-mail address if applicable.

 

 Please submit your name to Major Cassidy with the detail as above.

 

It is appreciated that 2015 is a long way off ( Not so long now) but events such as these take a lot of planning, not least to find all those who served in Borneo or on the Rear Party in Felixstowe, your co-operation will be much appreciated. In due time once the numbers, date, venue and costs are known you will be advised of these. You will then be asked to make a firmer commitment of attendance.

If you have no e-mail, then write with your reply to:

Maj Ron Cassidy, MBE
