I'm sorry if you don't
want to talk about work at the moment, but I currently need
someone of a high calibre, like those in REME, and am offering
£100 to anyone that can point me in the right direction of an
available mechanic, to work on heavy military vehicles for longer
than 8 weeks. Some people I have spoken to use this money as a
donation to REME, which is OK by us. Please call +44 (0)1183 779
900, and ask for Alex Lee or John Bielous if you can help.
Alternatively, you can email. Thanks for your time and effort.

Is anyone able to help
me find out anything about Squires Gate camp, Blackpool. My
grandfather has listed that as his address on his marriage
certificate, so I'm assuming he was a soldier. My mother believes
he was Australian, and I'm trying to work out how I'd find which
regiment he belonged to. Any help gratefully received. |
