  1. Fantastic weekend at the Willich Reunion 11/12 July 2009 meeting up with Jim 'Jock' Brewster and Randy Pantin and knowing each other straightaway after 32 years was hoping to say hello to our former CO Roger Eagle and RSM Brian Cox but both could not make it chatted with former OC EBW Bill Kerr and many who were out of time special mention to a national service lad who was there in 1952 and the last CO Richard Dennis who gave the keys to Stadt Willich in 1992 last but not least many thanks to Tam Pearce as a true sapper put everything together and he did go the extra nine yards! Cheers Steve Wright Willich 75-77

    Hi Hank
    My father served at Willich in 1961. Was in main stores and his name WO2 Rodbard. Iwas 17years old and started my first job there as a Civilian Clerk. I worked in Chief Clerk Douglas's office. I also ran the 1st Willich Cub Pack with Lt Cleary. If anyone remembers me, I send them my best wishes.

  9. Hi Hank, I was enamoured to come across this site, I served 1966-68 in 21 Sqn as a C & J, played for the football team. It was certainly some halcyon times in our youth and a lovely town, I got my first tape on the cadre there and have a stack of photos to give to your library of mainly 21 sqn lads, Cider Ridgeway,[now deceased I believe] Paul Davis, Scouse Thomas, Garry Marsh, remember 'Harry Harris ??. I am still in touch with Sean McCargo from another site and wil point him in this direction, along with a couple of others I know from around then, Pebs Mawer. et al. We were in 21 together, you were in the stores if I remember correct, Dunno if you remember myself, devilishly handsome and virile,[LOL] I'll dig out those photos , let me know where to send them to. Cheers for now,
    Tony Liddicoat.
