Hi Advent, I'm not sure abut Cpl Geordie Waugh, the armour when I was there was a Cpl Dennis Whitker, and the SQMS was a S/Sgt Lloyd-Williams. I was there with pte (l/Cpl) Mark Lines, pte William Slim,

Possibly Geordie Waugh had left the unit and Dennis Whittaker I do recall.
SQMS Lloyd -Williams he changed his Surname through marriage to Dewanz.
I believe its a South African name.
I have a link to an image of Geordie Waugh entertaining our 3 year old son.
This image was taken at a Flat Party in Peterbucher back in December 1979.

Hi Advent the picture has come out on your list, but having seen the picture he looks familiar to one who was on exercise with us, he was stationed at Bunde and he spent the entire exercise sleep on the shelf in the front of the 4 tonner that Dennis Whitaker was driving. But I may have him confused with someone else.
