When you mentioned coming home, was it the whole Regiment, or just some of you? Paul. | |

| Hello Syd, I'm affraid I'm a bit after your time but I do have memories of Luneburg, we would on occasion travel there from Soltau for a Saturday night out, kip in the car and drive back on Sunday.
I know, not much help am I! | |
