William has sent us a great set of pics,
which we felt merited having a page to himself! He is living in Rochdale,
and has agreed to allow me to tell a little of the dramatic events which
have happened since we all served together in Hong Kong.(He tells a hilarious
story of trying to show a film at Fanling, with the projection room on
fire and the LFs refusing to let him stop the film!!) Following a short
spell with 3 RRF, William gained his sailors papers and sailed off to
Brazil, where he had a rare old time, in and out of different ports, good
women ,good wine and song.(See the before and after pic!) He was contracted
to do 2 months on and 1 month off, he owned a flat in Colchester and had
bought a motorbike. He was driven into by a car in 1975, which resulted
in a spinal and neck injury which meant he would not walk again. Years
of treatment followed, and is still going on. William has studied and
researched and become a recognised expert in the field of Second World
War memorabilia, especially Nazi items. He has an international reputation
and has his name in numerous Militaria Publications. He has a beautiful
lady friend Shelley(see pics!!)and I welcome them both to our LF web site.
