Hi Debbie and welcome to the site. I’ve just had a quick glance at your site which I like and I’m sure will go far and If you wish I will let others know about. I was in the army for 25 years from 1956 – 1981 I started in the RA and transferred over to the RAMC. I never knew your father and I hope you have got over your loss.

Dads Memorial Site

my dad was a soilder through and through,and the best part of his life was when he was serving in the army.he was never the same when he came out and missed being in the army so much.i thought i would set up the webpage for dad,for anyone in or who has been in the forces to go in and leave messages.it was and is the best tribute i could pay to my dad,as his life was the army life.
kindest regards
take care
