Hi Michael

It has been reported in my local newspaper (Express & Star 3rd January) that Chris Jones, former 39 regiment, died on the 29th December, following 'a long battle with respiratory disease'. Chris was the founder member of the Midlands Birds of Prey Rescue Centre, at Stourbridge, West Mids.

His funeral will be held at Stourbridge Crem on the 12th January at 2.10pm.  Chris was 65 years of age.

All the Best for 2009
 

 

Another year, another chance
To start our lives anew;
This time we’ll leap old barriers
To have a real breakthrough.

We’ll take one little step


And then we’ll take one more,
Our unlimited potential
We’ll totally explore.

We’ll show off all our talents
Everyone will be inspired;
(Hmm…while I’m writing this,
I’m getting very tired.)

 

We’ll give up all bad habits;
We’ll read and learn a lot,
All our goals will be accomplished,
Sigh...or maybe not.

Oh well, Happy New Year anyway!

 

**

"Here's to the bright New Year, and a fond farewell to the old; here's to the things that are yet to come, and to the memories that we hold."

 

**

 

"Another fresh new year is here . . . Another year to live! To banish worry, doubt, and fear, To love and laugh and give! This bright new year is given me To live each day with zest . . . To daily grow and try to be My highest and my best! I have the opportunity Once more to right some wrongs, To pray for peace, to plant a tree, And sing more joyful songs!"

See ye all at the Reunion 2009 at Blackpool.

alias
'The 39ers Club'
 
Please read info on right >
 
 

Site Up-Dated
6 January 2009

Why!
I created this Website to try and keep alive the memories of all the people associated with the
39th Regiment RA
over the years - 1947 to Date.
 
Especially:
39th Missile Regiment, Royal Artillery 
(Honest John Missile - 8" Howitzer Gun)
 1960's era.
 
I myself served with the 39th Missile Regiment RA from 1959-67. That is why the site is called, the 39th Missile Regiment RA Website, 1960's.
 
But I'm covering all the years from 1947* to date.
( * See, 39 Regt History on left )
 
So if you served or know of anyone that was associated with the 39th Regiment RA over those years, let me know.
 

Since,September 2003.

I'm still adding items to this website
