Looking for old friends from 3RGJ

Hey Robert, how many people do you get in a gun group?

Date: Dec 9, 2012

Thanks for the reply.

Don't worry about the numbers I'm sure that there will be enough chairs.

Well mate, if the B Coy Gun Group was the same size as C Coy Gun Group over the same two days, and assuming you were one of them, then you are only going to need one more chair

Thats impossible. You see in 1972 there was no C Coy in 3RGJ.

Correct, it was R Company. Are you referring to the exercise with 1 para at Stanford in July 72?

Date: Dec 10, 2012

Yes thats the one.

I actually missed that because I was on the advance party in Belfast - hope you find your buddies.

Robert did you work with Sgt Handley in the QMs if you did I remember you

Thanks Anon.

Hello Mike,

I was there for a while with CPL Phil McCavity who had transferred from the KOSB after his wife left him for an RRW chorister.

I was wondering how long it would be before some of our old mates got back to me and I'm surprised at how quick you lads have got onto it.

If anybody out there has still got a copy of the Republican News which I wiped my arse on all of those years ago I would appreciate it back.
