Had an e-mail on friends re-united from a Fusilier Gareth Bellringer,states with 3rd Battalion Royal Welsh.Looking for his father Derek,last heard of just prior to Bn going to Ireland 1970,s ??
Told him to join forum where he may get some help,and I would put a request on for him.States DEREK was a Cpl on release from Regiment.ANY OFFERS?
I would think that name would be easy for the guys from that era to remember. If we can get a location then 192.com will be the next stage.
If this is the same person who I knew, he was an ex Jnr from Rhyl and joined Bn and went into Sigs Pln.
Hello all,
Excuse the pun but the name does ring a bell, I will make an effort to give you an answer as soon as possible.
Regards,
Joe.
i think he was bengie blundell's mate....i know bengie is living in llandudno junction....192 would got his number
hello.. im gareth, dereks son.. yer as far as i know he was in between 1965 and 1974 and he had been to hong kong and ireland. currently i am in 3rd bn royal welch in D coy up in colwyn bay.. but my platoon is in caernarfon. thanks for all the help guys
I may be wrong but I think he was in B Coy 5 plt in Erskine Camp in Hong Kong and later in BCoy in Londonderry, hope this is of help.
Regards,
Joe.
cheers pal.. ive just asked my mother and she remembers him talking of crossmaglen. and something about the investiture in caernarfon castle.
ive just had a look on 192 .com and have found who i believe to be my father.. at the moment 192 wont let me buy credits for technical problems. http://www.192.com/search/browse.cfm...1A1F14124A4D54 this is the link to the search if someone could possibly get the adress from the website i would be very grateful.
Gareth,
I have sent you a private message with the details, I hope the details are OK.
Regards,
Joe.
If he was a member of the british leigion, would they have his details on a database? and would they give that sort of information out? its probably a long shot. ive had a look on the interweb at the town where his adress is and it looks like quite a small village.. mum had a look on google, and reckons she has found where he works.. a firm called multiplex construction uk ltd, he is the senior h+s manager for the white city development.
thank you to all who have aided me in my search.
quick update. ive got a phone number for him, and have called and spoken to his partner. he should be ringing me back tomorrow, but i will wait out on that one. im not sure he was ever anygood at keeping his word.
A massive thank you to all members who have assisted me in my search. hope to meet some of you after the rememberence parade this year in colwyn bay. i shall be parading with Dcoy rwr. thanks again
