I am the daughter of Paul Dixon i am trying to locate him or info on him as i havnt seen him since the age of 5 yrs old. His regimental number was 24252649 and he served from 1971 to 1979. He was in Celle.
Someone has provided me with a picture of who he thinks is Paul Dixon can recognise him and confirm that the photograph here is Paul Dixon? Do you know? or have you seen him recently?
I can confirm to you that the photo you have is Paul Dixon who was in the 1st Bn Royal Green Jackets that picture was taken in Hong Kong Paul used to play football in the battalion team (He was a very good player) I think when we were posted to Dover that Paul played football for "Dover" as a semi professional..

Thankyou very much for taking the time to reply to the post,i am now beginning to get a picture of my past life,thanks Yvonne.
I was serving in Celle at the same time as Paul, Unfortunatley I didn't know your Father. All I can say is - If he was in the Regiment he must have been a good bloke. Have you tried looking for him by puting something on Facebook - I found old mates through facebook that I haven't spoken too for over 30 years.
Just type into the Facebook search box - Royal Green Jackets and you will be able to see many many names and when you put your Profile on there you will get a response.
