New Year Greetings
|
||
|
Safely back in the United Kingdom for rotational leave, time to update the website and wish all ex-members of 249 Signal Squadron (FARELF) a happy and prosperous 2008. Alan "Taff" Dunbar's obituary - which appeared in the December issue of The Wire Magazine - is now published on our Last Post page. I have taken the liberty of publishing his Then & Now photographs just above the write up and hope that nobody takes offence. I shall be off to Cuba and the sun for a couple of weeks shortly. A nice break before I fly back to the wilds of Afghanistan and beautiful Kandahar.........NOT |

NOTICE
|
||
|
There are still some gaps on the contact lists, where we are missing troops or dates served. This is acceptable when the people concerned are not in contact but in some cases it applies to people who are in touch. If you are one of those please let Graham or myself know so we can update. (Don't be afraid inform us if you know we have got dates or troops wrong. Also any names that are missing of people you know who served) - Thanks |
