Does any one remember..
« on: October 09, 2018, 07:51:17 PM »
Does any one remember an old Manchester Regiment soldier called Trevor Watkins?, I understand he was a driver of sorts, certainly served in Germany (Berlin and other places) He's still around and I'm in touch with his daughter

There was a Corcoran in the Manchester Regiment,when the amalgamation came about he made weapon training sergeant in the Kings & Manchester Regiment,if I remember correctly he was in B Coy in Ballykinler and was an excellent shot a member of the battalion shooting team along with Sgt Roy Stephenson.
Best Wishes to you & Alice,Keep Well,Roy & Jean.
