back row from left to right is: Dave Haslam, Wayne, Me middle row: Bernard, Pat Carol, ? front row: Jimmy Morgan and Mark. Sadly tonight I was informed Jimmy Morgan had passed away after suffering a massive heart attack I know Wayne will be having a pint with him as I write this journal. We had a good laugh that day, Bernard could still just about see and I could walk a lot better than I can now. Wayne and Bernard had wanted to go so they could meet up with Jimmy once again. Wayne and Jimmy served in Aden together and Bernard had been with the regiment since around 1968. Mark had always promised himself that he would punch Jimmy on the nose once he met him again. Jimmy had been one of the RP's when we served in 1 RTR and enjoyed picking up on the new boys like us. But after meeting him again everyone had a good laugh about old times and we all had a great day together. God bless them both and watch over them.
