Any old information about my grandad

Date: May 9, 2013

Was he a training Sgt in the Depot around 1970? Originally KRRC? Black hair and thick black moustache? I think he was my training Sgt. I met him again in 1980 when he was a Seargeant Major in 2RGJ.

Hi

I Remember him and I am sure many who went through Royal Green Jackets Traing in Winchester will Remember him. I was in Traing in Winchester in the sumer of 1966, I was in his training platoon.

I Last met him in Brecon during the early 80's he was there with a training platoon.

I have a photo of the Training platoon I was in and he is in the photo I am sure he is in many photo's from his days as a training NCO in Winchester.

If you want a copy of the photo let me have an email address and i wilL send it to you.

Regards - Ray Smith 1RGJ - 1966 - 75

Hi I can remember that name but I didnt know His first Name as He went by the Nickname of Mad McCarthy

As it has already been said He would have been one of the Trg Ncos at Pen Bks and I think His last Pln was 13 Pln 66/67

The other Ncos at the time if I am right would have been Roy Stanger and Ace Mclean and Pln Sgt would have been George Body

I am sure some one will send you a photo of one of their POP

Cheers and Good Luck on your search
