Does anyone have any memories of Len Markbride, who left the army with the rank of WOI [I think] in the mid 60's?
Certainly his name appears in the index of Regimental Records covering 1945-69. In 1956-57 he was CSM HQ Coy 2RWF in Malaya. Why?
Hello,
As Al rightly informs us Markbride was a C S M in Malaya and run the football team. In passing I have been off line for quite a while but my son returned from his holiday and repaired it

nice to hear from you again, your absence was noticeable!
cheers

Hello 989,
