RIP JRSM Johnny Beaumont Kukri Troop 59? to Jul 62 the following is recorded on the Royal Signals Contact website:Johnny died in January 2009 after a long struggle with various forms of cancer. He was a great footballer and mate during our stay in 262 in Cyprus in the mid 60 s. I managed to visit him in late 2008 after a message from Paddy McMurrary-Taylor via the 262 grapevine that he was ill. We spent a couple of hours going through old photos stories and most of all laughing. Barry Ellershaw I emailed Barry and he sent me a photo from the 60s in Cyprus have checked with the Kukri lads from his era including John Maher his senior sergeant at Denbury and later SSM at 8 Sigs

He joined the Signals and I was sent to J/Ldrs Royal Engieers at Dover.While at Dover I took up boxing and traveled to a boxing tournament against J/Ldrs at Denbury and bumped into him.Ican t remember his name and know its a long shot but he might see this or if anyone can even think who it might be give me a call on 01294312879.

Out of action after undergoing another bout of surgery but now on the road to normality. Congratulations on the new website format and giving me proof of one of my favourite stories about how bad winters were in days of yesteryear which my children never believe. The photograph of White Swan troop carrying bales of hay across Dartmoor during the winter of 62/63 with Sgt Mathieson to the fore was living proof. Regards to all Mucky Duckers out there.

sorry white spear62-64

Have just come across this web site which is fantastic. I was in White Spear in 59 and then moved to Junior Wing in 61. I have been in touch with a few old names from the past but reading the through the Guest Book has reminded me of a lot more familar names. Would be great to hear from anyone who remembers me.

Brilliant update Tony how it has changed since I first visited 8 years ago!
