Just heard from Chalkie LLoyds daughter that he has had a mild stroke ( again ) and was in hospital but is now back home talking with his daughter and reading between the lines he is not in the best of health she has him coming home for Christmas but not too sure if he is going back in I told her that his old comrades are thinking of him at this time and hope he recovers soon.

I attended Bob’s funeral yesterday at Yeovil. There were a few of us there but this was far outweighed by his civilian and golfing friends. Nonetheless he left us in good form and he will be fondly remembered by all who served with him.

Hi, My Dad recently passed away and I am trying to track down anyone who may have crossed paths with his whilst he served. I apologise as I don't have a great deal of knowledge regarding where he was based. His name was Francis Joseph Price. I believe he was around 18 when he served and it will have been around 1958 -1960 possible. He was from Tow Law, County Durham, England. I would love to hear any stories about him or know if I could access any photos. My email address is c.pricey@live.co.uk if anyone has any information or advice where I could inquire further. Thanks Friday 11 August2023 - England
Webmaster comments Any of you old guys know of a Francis Joseph Price |

I will be attending the Caythorpe weekend as I have done for many years. The numbers of our generation attending have been falling each year. Last year the dinner was not well supported. Let’s all try and do our best to attend and support the Caythorpe weekend as it has a very special place in our history. CHRIS

Hi all, I am now living in Scotland and therefore not as handy to organise our wee get together at the NMA in November (Armistice Sunday). Can you please therefore indicate whether or not you are planning to attend in order that we can ask someone a bit closer to organise. Thanks and regards.Jimmy Tuesday 25 July2023 - Dunoon
