Hi there Signallers, this is a tremendous longshot for any old timers out there.
My brother Derek Gallop was in the Corps in the 60's, whilst stationed in Malta in April 1965 was on R&R he went for a swim and the tide took him aged just 18.
If there is anyone on here that remembers him or the sad event I would love to get in touch as I was only young when he passed and would love to know more about him.
Thanks for reading this. Les

Tony and all.
I am amazed Mr Wright that you are still trying to “Bully” and make demands of Tony to which you have no right to do. I will try and keep this email short but need to cover many and varied points you have raised.
Lets take a look briefly and your actions over the last few of years and track you’re your disruptive behaviour which I believe was by intention for your own benefit.
1. Cause a split from the main site run by John Thompson because of some previous fall out over a meal you left before payment.
2. Caused a further split of the site started by Phil Kirk
3. Closed the history site which was open and free and made it only available to people that you personally allowed to view content. My believe is that this was an attempt by you to make it by “Subscription” to raise money.
4. Threatened Tony Gask last year in an attempt to get Tony to close down his site (which he nearly did) which would then allow you to proceed with the point raised in 3 above.
Copyright. You have no claim to copyright for any content on your website “Denbury Junior Leaders” the reason is as follows . FACTS cannot be copyrighted. Most of the information on your site i8s fact (it happened). Where there is pictures or diagrams or drawings to claim copyright you would have to be the author of the works, which you are not. An example is that I spend 10 years researching “Prehistoric Man” I publish a book and people start to use my words. No copyright exists
Because “Prehistoric” man is fact it did happen.
Claimed abuse you say you have suffered “Rubbish” I stand by all I have posted and you will not demand that they be removed. If you disagree, you have a course of action you can take.
As to the 2 “emails” you refer to and accuse Tony of removing These were not Emails as you well know but Facebook postings by Moya’s daughter and probably removed at your request to her.
You are a liar when you said you supplied what was requested by Jim Humphries in preparation for the 2017 reunion. You refused I believe your words were” I am unable to help you”.
Just as matter of interest how much money did you take at the 2005 reunion for “Badge” charges.
You do seem to be fixated on being the first to know of the death of both Bob and Leo. Following the death of Leo you probably kept in contact with Linda for a matter of weeks (according to her). I on the other hand kept in contact and sponsored he to reunions for 2 years, why because Leo was a mate. You never saw Bob after 2017 but maintain he was a best friend, time will tell how good a friend he was in the way you support Moya over the coming months years.
I have Mr. Wright supported you over many years with financial help of gifts of money, Loan of £5,000 in case you had to leave Germany in a hurry and which was deposited in your UK bank. I have allowed you to use my Spanish property FOC and even pre-paid your Christmas Day Lunch for 2 years running.
I have no idea of what or why you have now turned into the disruptive, augmentative person you have become. Whatever your problems are you need to get them fixed because to continue with the behaviour you are showing now will loose you even more friends and not just the ones who have their final posting.
Finally I do understand and accept Bobs Family wishes. I am attempting to contact Bobs family in Brentwood to gain further information as to a “Total” Blackout of Bobs death.
Going forward do not give Tony any further grieve you are a Bully and we all know what happens to them eventually. Enjoy your life and stop trying to ruin other peoples.

Will not be able to attend the Taunton reunion this year, that day is grandson's farewell part in Bracknell. He leaves for his 14 week basic course at Pirbright on the Monday. He wants to join the Household Cavalry, the Donkey Wollopers. Many of you met Kyle at Blandford RSA a several occasions, he's a great lad and has been eager to join up since about the age of 10.

For Les Gallop I was in nig wing with your brother we all called him Fred we both learnt to swim at Torquay baths, I remember your dad was prison officer at Dartmoor Prison and when we were on trips across the moors Fred sometimes sorted routes near your parents home for a cupper. Lost touch when we left Denbury heard of his death while serving in Cyprus we had some good laughs I am sure he is sorely missed

IMPORTANT NEWS.
It is proposed to make the Barnsley reunion a "Memorial" event to Bob Wathen given that we are unable to do other things that we would normally do.
Bob was one of the very best of people and I never ever heard him say anything nasty towards anyone, not ever.
Lets try and make this reunion a little bigger than it is at the moment in memory of Bob.
As some may know Bob had a "True Love" of classical music and I am seeing if I can get together a quartet to play through dinner in his memory.
Lastly the funds raised (albeit small due to the circumstances and not your generosity) is sufficient to purchase a "Memorial" bench in Bobs memory. The placement for this yet to be decided. Perhaps you guys that did walks with him would be best to consult.
So if you have not yet booked and would like to attend in memory of Bob get cracking.
