Hello Prov,

Welcome to the Forum, I do remember you from Ballykinlar. I think I last spoke to you at the Bosnia Homecoming in 1995, with Phil Jones. I'ts been a few years since you have been into the RWF Forum, I think it was on the old site. Quite a few ex A Coy on here, the likes of Rab Warren, Jimmy Timmons, Sid (brother of Larry) Burns, Will 86, Patty 43 etc.

Good to have you back

Hi Ap1,

I see a lot of names I recognise.....Like Rab Warren,Trav, Algate, judging by how many have looked at the thread, there are probably alot more that I know... every so often I bump into Roy Price, Rhigos/Hirwaun and through the RRW Comrades in Aberdare I have also met up with Phil Rees, It was quite strange really There was Phil's Father, a company commander and one of the old comrades that served under him, all those years ago, 60+

Then Phil, who was my Company commander, it felt really strange but really good, been down to his Fathers place near Camarthen....

Over the years I let things slip away but the warm welcome from everyone, really makes me feel good.....

Just remind everyone, I joined 3Plt in Oct 86' at Tern Hill...What do I remember best ?? apart from friends and comradeship.....Soda Farls from the kitchen in RUC Corry Square in Newry.....mmmmm... Oh there are other things...But I don't want incriminate myself !!

Thanks All....

Pat Prov

PS, any Radio Hams out there????????

Rab Warren didn't you have a ford capri in Tern hill ?? was your mate Chico ?? Shadwell, if I'm right and it's you, do you remember us doing a tour around the Fa..s rd in your Opel Manta??? If not there's another one out there somewhere.....All these name's really got those alarm bells ringing now.....
