That sounds like a great idea Mac, i'm sure his family would be interested to hear of it.

They have visited the 1st Bn on a few occasions to present the "Best Student" trophy competed for annually during the NCO's Cadre.

Cracking idea Mac, i'm sure all the "Book" members would be up for it!

I am 'Legs' sister and I've just joined the forum. I have read with great pride the comments made here about Dave. As a brother he was second to none and I realise from your comments that he was a first class soldier and a friend to many. I have in my possession the 'Book' that some of you refer to and have laughed and cried at its content. I do treasure it but would be happy to share its contents or get a copy to you should you have a reunion of the 'book club'.
Regards
Wendy

Hi Wendy , great to see you on the forum . I have the original minutes and the book entries for the Falklands Tour in 1985 . The first entry was at Fox Bay where a Frisco Disco was held on 14th may 1985 . That first meeting took up at least 11 pages of the book and lasted all night with everyone sleeping where they passed out !. Looking through it brings back special memories where items discussed included Set Ups / dropping weapons / sprog members / the book oath (which we all swore ) the book night out when we returned to Ternhill and so on . You can tell now by looking at some of the entries that David was organised and whilst all those around him were getting slowly drunk , he proposed that the book should have official appointments , he then proposed an author , a president and a treasurer . I am more than happy to get this copied and forwarded to you . You may not understand many of the entries but they hold lifelong memories for all who were involved . For those other members of the book , we must make the effort to get together and remember a great friend .
