Hi Mac, Dai Hood and johnny hood live around that area, think Dai is a member of this forum ask Al he should know what is user name is. you could pm him then.
Just like to thank everyone who has helped with this request .
Through another forum member I have managed to locate and speak to Gonzo which is something that I have not done for over 28 years .
Civpop gives you friends , some good , some great and some not so good . But it is only the regiment that gives you mates . Mates can pick up where they left off which was the case with Gonzo as he reminded me that I still owed him something . We just get a bit older during the down time .
So , if anyone can help with Monkey and Higgins , I will be at the bar during the comrades reunion , only for five minutes , so you had better be quick .
As a footnote , what is the form for the reunion ? This is how I see it ,
book your place , send your money , book hotel , put on suit , turn up , drink copious ammounts , talk and sing , go to bed , have fry up , come home .
Do I need a pass , if so what for ?
Anything different please advise .
Many thanks to everyone .

Saturday, most of the lads wear the regi tie, shirt, jeans, some wear trouser or suits, whatever you like, although the Tie seems to be everywhere, and then its just a very very long day...loads of sings songs, and a great time in the town centre and back at the barracks.
If your not a Comrades Branch Member you can either join the nearest branch, or join as an individual member, both can be done online through the forum, and in a couple of weeks you will recieve a Comrades membership card.
White socks and a Magnam PI shirt it is then :cool:

Adding on to Al,s info. you will need a Comrades photo I.D card to enter Hightown Baracks and if you are on the Sunday church parade the dress is "Regimental", collar, tie etc.
