Regimental Magazine

Postby brummie nick » Sun Dec 03, 2006 5:36 pm

In 1965 I remember visiting Norton Barracks with my father to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the battle of Neuve Chapelle, I believe in the following months Firm magazine a list of attendees were published.
I would like to obtain a Photostat copy of that months issue if this is at all possible.
Is there an address I could write to? TIA.

Nick.

PS my father was 8769 Pte D Nicholls

You should write to the Regimental archives at:
RHQ WFR
Norton Barracks
Worcester
WR5 2PA
Tel. 01905 354359

They may be able to sell you a copy of the 'FIRM' Regimental Magazine, April 1965 (Volume 32, Number 2) which celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the Battle of Neuve Chapelle. Your father Private D. Nicholls name is listed with others on page 30 (at the time living at 32 Templefield Street, Birmingham , 9).

Hope this helps.
