All local lads to me!

I wonder if any of them were in the Royal Berkshire Regiment have just spotted two that were.

My OH served in that regiment in Cyprus in the 50's on active service.

Hi Alan,

OH was in the Troodos and Nicosia at the same time that you were there 1956-1958.  He was my Fiance then.
