Well yesterday was my last day in uniform. My official retirement date is 31st August 2010 but I start resettlement leave etc. I will have completed almost 44 years having served with 1 SWB 1 RRW and finally the Royal Welsh. So next stop one of the "smiling" happy helpers at TESCO's or B & Q.

Colin,

May you enjoy a well deserved retirement, good health and the sense of a job well done. ... Good luck in your retirement, really enjoyed serving with you, albeit, briefly, in Warminster before moving on to the Long Service List

[Gwyn Nicholas]

Colin I wish you a long, happy and healthy retirement and the very best to the good lady who's feet you will be constantly under. Stay busy cos if you dont use it, you lose it. Good luck.

Well Colin, what can I say that has not been said by Bob and Gwyn. We met very briefly at the Depot in the 80's, and we have communicated on here and Facebook. It has always been a pleasure chatting to you.

Take care and enjoy the things that are going to come to you.

Roger

Colin,

Have a long and happy retirement. Served with you in Crickhowell and Osnubruck.

There is life after the Army.

Best Regards.

Enjoy your retirement Colin. A big thanks for all your support(and the occasional words of advice) on the RWF Forum. Long may that continue.
