James (Jimmy) Owen
I am trying to track down James (Jimmy) Owen when I served in the Australian Army in the mid mid 1970's who was ex British Arm in the early 70's and toured Northern Ireland. I remember he said he served in the 1st Battalion. If anyone has contact details of him please let me know it will be very much appreciated.
Regards
Barry Goodwin WO1 Retired.

Would like to know what happened to the following people and if possible, anyone who remembers me and would like to get in touch. I was given the nickname 'Ponchorat' while in Germany, after looking out from under my poncho, looking like sh*t* :-)
I was in C COY 4WFR Haslucks Green Road from 88 - 92
If anyone has pictures of back then, I'd love to see them and any pictures of the TA Centre (which I sadly found out had been demolished).
I now live in Derby. When I was in, I lived in Kings Heath, Birmingham and C Coy 4 WFR was in Shirley, Solihul. My number is 24832190. When I was in, it was between 88 – 92
I also got one of the ranks of the people I could remember,
Capt McGilvrey (unsure on spelling)
Maj Rashid
C/SGT G Ansermoz (unsure on spelling) (nickname A to Z)
Caffrey (Capt/Maj unsure on rank) I remember he was Irish.

He enlisted in 1953 at Norton Barracks (I do believe).
I believe Tec went to Bulford Barracks in about 1955/56 (not sure if he was stationed there or just drove the unit there).
He did go to Germany (not sure of the year though).
As well as driving, he was also the batsman to the higher authority.
Any information or pictures would be well received.
