Hi,
Reading your messages and seeing your names, brings back memories of when we were kids.
Our dad "Bob Banks", passed away in 1989,and we miss him so much, however looking on this site does bring a lot of memories back for us and Ann, our mum.
Take Care
Maria & Julia

Cheers for that Bill - lots of Nobby Clarke's I suppose - do you still have the swallows?    Were'nt you C Company 71 tour (maybe B Coy in 67, or A coy in 69-70 - I know I met you somewhere).

Hiya Julia and Maria,


I knew your dad very well, in fact I went to school with him (Kent St Secondary Modern) I think it was called then.   I used to live in Cumberland House in Portsea. He was a year or so older than me and when we were both stationed at Winchester, I used to give him a lift back to Pompey occasionally.


All the very best to you both.


Keith

Hi Keith,

Thanks for your message, it was very kind of you.

We both feel really happy when, we are able to hear memories of dads life.

Guess whilst we still talk about him it keeps him alive, in our memories, thoughts and lives.

Take Care

and Best wishes

Maria & Julia
