Its with deep regret I inform you of my Dad, Bill Wards, passing.
He was a Beachley Boy from 1960, settled in Chepstow when he came out of the Army in 77.
He served with the RCT in Marchwood twice, Hong Kong, Belize, Singapore and Gosport

Nice and tidy . couple of points though.
1. For those of us with aging sight the boxes we have to fill-in before submitting these items ,could be clearer
2.. Could the names be entered below the photo of the 42A football team. They were there when I originally sent in photo.

Names now there. I will review the boxes in due course after the site has 'bedded-in' and we look to improve the site. Webmaster

Congratulations to all on the construction of the new site -is it probable/possible that the old BOBA guest book will be migrated onto this site to ensure continuity of ongoing topics?

We are currently 'bedding-in' the site and will look at issues/requests, including this one in a about three weeks time. Webmaster

I am pleased to be the first to post on the guestbook of our new website.
This site is here following a lot of deliberation between the Web Designer, Mark Fryer, the man behind Distinct Graphics of Chepstow, Bill Nichol 61A C Coy,the Webmaster, and myself, all of whom have worked extremely hard to ensure that the AAC & BOBA continues to thrive. It is YOUR website.
I would ask that you share the details with everyone that you know because “the site is only as good as the content it receives”.

I started off in 1963 (63b) as a fitter , worked my way up through the ranks to Finish as RSM 71 Engr Regt RE (v) . I came back to Chepstow as CSM A Coy , which later became SSM 88 Sqn. A posting which was most enjoyable under Major Phil Rowe .
