Hi Chris,
Its nice
to hear from you, I have just retired and I am loving it so if you do
manage a reunion I am available and just to show my sincerity I will
give up a visit to Pride Park to watch Derby play for it. We only won
once last year and Dorothy and I missed that game.
Have you
heard from any of the permanent staff as well as me ?
When I
was in South Armagh in the late 70's we had a Lt. in the company who
had been at Troon as a Junior Tradesman I can't remember his name now
but he always seemed edgy with me.

I still remember the freezing cold day when we
alighted from the train at
Troon,the green army buses then delivered their cargo of children to
the'spider' at Cassell's Company.
Hairy shirts,huge white china mugs,bulled boots and early rises were the
order of the day. I have come to appreciate those hard times so much,we
are and will always be soldier's,we have resilience and honour and
guts.I
hope that someone may have the platoon photo,other trooners I remember
were, Paddy Hendry,John Geany and Ernie Lovell, from London.Ernie and
his

Clame
to fame (Not that it did me any good !): Best recruit Autumn intake
1966. (There were three of us and we had to draw cards for it, I won !)
A
story about Sgt Muir.
He
was the first to greet us one rainy afternoon in Sep.
1966 as we got of the transport from the station. Now I´m 6ft 5in but
when your just 16 years old and this guy stands infront of you - 5ft
and nothing, or so it seemed, wearing a kilt, the first one I
had seen - looking up your nose and shouting at you and you
have just spent the entire day on the train - I was up from Somerset -
you begin to wonder what the hell you have let your self in for.
Well
16 years later, on the Falklands Jul. 1982, I was the
rear link Sgt with 1 Q O HLDRS and was asked if I would take the Anti
Tank Pl. down to South George for 6 weeks - which turnd into 12 as they
did not have any ships at the turn round point to pick us up. I had a
Pte. called Muir and one day I told him my first Pl. Sgt was a Sgt Muir
at JTR Troon and he said that was his Dad. When they dropped the mail
in for us he had a letter from his Dad who sent his regards and yes he
could remember me.

Hi Chris,Would you be so kind as to put my details up on your contact
board? a quick resume: Troon from 1972-74. Cassells
21 Platoon then A Coy.. made J/Sgt. I know Jim Mahon - a big lad from
Carlisle. I think he started in Sigs but transferred to the
RCT - could be other way around though!! I remember
Dave Higgs - RE all round sporty type and basketball
specialist. Franny McKeenan - another RE, a great sense of
humour and closet tough guy.
From our gang I would like to get in touch with:
Al Millar - from Stirling RE - looked about 12 years
old.
Jim O'Niel - Dundee RE - a tough guy.
Pete Fielding RA - another closet boxer!! Dave (the Eb) Sennett
RE - from Keighley - severely fast cross country runner.Kenny
Drummond - GH. Another hard boy from Stockton I
think. Made J/CSM A Coy.

Cpl Hicks, was it, who did the Sigs Training and also coached some of

Anyone who Knew Me
I was at JTR Troon from Jan 63 till Dec 63 - In Goodbodies Company, the guy that
taught me Morse was Sargeant Larry Dewhirst , a very memorable person ( now well
into his 70s ) He invited me and my family round for a cuppa - brilliant
man.
It was a pleasure to meet him again after such a long time.
He was
good then - He is terrific now - still has the smile on his face.

Hello Chris, I would appreciate you speeding
my membership.
My name is John Little j/sapper - J/sgt on
disscharge. there is so much I would like to talk about and remember
what
I have forgotten.
My memories are of Cassels coy, staff sgt Green (signals) sgt mcmullen
paddy (royal inniskilling) both were my platoon sgt's. The C/O was LT
col
PL Nicholson. I passed out then went into Goodbody coy, memories are
vague now, I think my platoon commander was Lieutenant Turner and my
company commander was definitely Major Rogers.
There is a chap posting as Pete Haywood I think he was in my platoon but
his dates do not line up.
The lads I do remember are as follows : Arthur (lurch) Hannon, Michael
(scotty) Mclaughlan, David Learmonth, a lad called cargill from Arbroath
also some one called montgomery from Banff, A lad called Harry Mennie
but
I don't think he was in my platoon. |

also Pete Holland who was in the same Regiment as Willie Gordon. The thing
that sticks in my mind about Troon was the double bunks, and being on the short
side always got the top bunk. Took a bit of getting used to, especially
getting out of bed in the mornings and making up the bed pack too. Also like
to hear from members of the band and anyone from the time I spent there. |

Malcolm, BW. Platoon Comdr was Lt
Jackson RM.
I went to Goodbodys
Company Jan 70 to train as a Driver Radio Operator. I
cannot remember who
we had as JNCOs, but we had Sgt Ron Upton R Sigs and a
Sgt Garrick REME.
I left Troon in 1970 December pass off and joined my Regiment 4th Royal
Tank
Regiment in January 1971. Landed in RAF Aldergrove in August 1971 and
the
first person I meet is a Dvr Bars (not sure of spelling)who had been the
JRSM at my pass off. Anyway I spent the next 22 years with 4 RTR and was
promoted to WO1 and then spent last 2 years in AG Corps before leaving
service in 1995.
Thats me for now.

Troon from January 1965 to about April 1966. in RASC then
RCT
The Platoon staff
consisted of Lt Muir. R.Signals, Sgt Partridge R Artillery,Sgt Muir. Queens Own
Hldrs.
My first memories of
JTR were walking into the billets of 10 Platoon and introducing myself to a fair
headed kid in the Royal Signals, Collin Marsh. in 1969 I met Collin again on a
flight to Bahrain when I was enroute to 90 Squadron RCT in Sharjah. I wonder
where he is now.
I left Cassel Coy.
After the first term and moved into Murray Coy. for trade training. I finished
my time there as the junior C/Sgt. and mustered to 4 squadron RCT in 2 Div
Regt RCT (Bunde) along with Terry Goss who left the army there to move into
the civilian life as an ex-pat. Another guy from about the same time was Bill
Bishop ex RHF who transfered to the RCT and has just finished his service in the
Fife Fire and Rescue Service.
Done my time in the
mob till February 1988 and now work full time for the Army Cadet Force in
Glasgow where I found a couple of the old JTR Troon Sports Shields in a box of
junk. They are "The Junior Tradesmens Regiments Challenge" shield for cross
country running and "The Inter Regimental Competition Troon-Rhyl" football
shield. I am just giving them a temporary home till they find a place of pride
in some deserving location or collection of JTR memorabilia.
One of your members,
Jim Ross, had asked on your site about Dave Mercer. The last time I saw him he
Was the RSM at 154 Transport Regt RCT (V) in Yorkhill, Glasgow about
1984/85.
I doubt if I will be
remembered by anybody out there but if so they are welcome to contact
me. |
