Does anyone have any memories of Len Markbride, who left the army with the rank of WOI [I think] in the mid 60's?

Certainly his name appears in the index of Regimental Records covering 1945-69. In 1956-57 he was CSM HQ Coy 2RWF in Malaya. Why?

Hello,
As Al rightly informs us Markbride was a C S M in Malaya and run the football team. In passing I have been off line for quite a while but my son returned from his holiday and repaired it

I remember scanning a photo of a football team, from Jungle's collection which featured CSM Markbride. I will search my raw data to find it but it will be easier to find once the Gallery is up and running again.

hi Don,

haven't been able to find my scans, though I do recall they were individual photographs as opposed to pages out of one of the YDG we were working on so I would not have archived them. Perhaps you could scan them and put them up in this post so the OP can take a copy if they don't have them.

nice to hear from you again, your absence was noticeable!

cheers

KMJ

Hello 989,
I will try and dig them out and zoom over to you, it will take some time.
