Hi All,
My name is Bob Etchells, I am now retired and thought that now I have time on my hands it was a good time to try and find some of my old soldiers pals from the past, almost 50 years in the past.
Any one who recognises me either from the 12th intake or after I passed out, my first posting was at the Fusiliers Depot, Sutton Coldfield, only there for around 9 months. I then went to The Black Watch at Knook Camp, Warminster, Minden, Germany. UN Cyprus. Kirknewton Mid Lothian Scotland. 1964 to 1969 I was then posted to theOfficers Mess, Central Vehicle Depot at Feltham, Middx From here I would be called to assist at Royal Garden Parties and State openings of Parliament in London, till my demob in 1971.
I Have had a good look through this site, the only one old fellow from the 12th was Jim Webster.
Anyhow chaps get in touch
Bob
