I played soccer for the regiment and was dragged across to Tidworth to play for the Core team. i loved my time in Germany & bought myself out in 1974...Derek Vaughan ( MT section ) would you remember John Kako or Mike Burgess ( ginger )? both very good freinds of mine

HI TO ALL EX 5 FIELD MEMBERS AND ANYONE WHO WILL REMEMBER ME IN PARTICULAR.

My name is David Poole, I was known as mucky poole (worked in vehicle workshops) in Paderborn 1962 till 1965/6 when I was then badly injured in an rta. Moved from a german hosptal to BMH Rinteln where I was basically saved. Eventually cas e vacked back to blighty to the Royal Herbert Hosp in Woolwich, then later a long time at rehabilitation in Chester. I would love to hear from any of the lads that knew me, and want to hear more from anybody about reunians, etc. I am happy to say that once the army decided I couldnt remain except if I stayed in the uk (no chance all b. s---! I went on to marry and now retired dote on my grandkids, I am still prone to the odd one over the eight though!! I was so lucky, those that know me will know that my friend Ben Lean who was REME didnt make it. Please contact me at d-poole@talktalk.net I wait with baited breath
