Junior Soldiers .
Cwrt Y Gollen
Here's something that may be of interest to one and all.
You may or may not know that there is an 'IBB & IJLB Association' and it represents all the infantry boy soldiers who served from 1958 to 1985 at camps all over the country. There is too, for the very first time, a reunion parade, (including military band) that will be marching in Oswestry this June the 7th where the Town's Mayor will unvail a comemoritive plaque.
For further info or just a look-see go to: www.IBB & IJLB
IJLB Oswestry May 70 - Jul or Aug 72.
In fact it was May 5th 1970 I arrived at Park Hall Camp.
A quick bit of mental arithmetic told me that that was 39 years ago to tne day - and my calculator confirmed that.
Thanks a bunch!
