I am looking for information on my father, a bloke called John Morris.From llangollen north wales,born 1940 something,served with the 1rwf between 1963 to 1972.I know he was stationed in hong kong in 1971 because i was born whilst he was there,and then we went to northern ireland in 1972.Thats about all i know,does any one recognise his name,he was lance cpl when he finished.one of his mates was called Peter Brown,who was also in hong kong at the same time,,any info would be fantastic..many thanks..

I was there at that time but can not recall a John Morris, sorry. There are lots of guys that are on this Forum from the Hong Kong days. Can you tell us what Company he was in? Was he a sportsman? Did he have a nickname? Any other info might help us find John in some of the many photos on this site.

Have you got a photograph that you can upload? That might trigger a few memories of someone who knew him only as a nickname perhaps, Good luck mate.

Just a thought, but can the boys from LLangollen who was in the BN at the time help.
I cannot remember the name, but Jack Roberts was from Corwen just up the rd, he was in the Signals.
