I'm doing a favour for
my granddad who was recently wondering about an old Army pal of
his from WW2. His name was Jim Cheshire and was in the 7th
Armoured Div (Signals)/Desert Rats with him until 1947ish. Think
he finished as a Sergeant before possibly re-enlisting later on.
Any info gratefully received. |

Dear All,
I am trying to get in contact with EX 70 AC Wksp members. The unit
is closing down in Middle Wallop and to mark the passing of such a
major unit I have commissioned a painting by David Rowlands. The
painting is of a local Middle Wallop scene with technicians
carrying out a Lynx recovery. Anyone interested or would like
further details are contact me by email at
morgan.oli@gmail.com. I have
ordered 250 copies of the painting and they are being sold at cost
(£10) to cover the cost of production. The print run is for a
limited edition which will be signed by the artist. Regards, Oli
