. CHARITABLE ADVERTISING on Web Site
There are many worthwhile charitable causes in existence, but we can only accept sponsorship or fundraising efforts on Fusilier Association websites, that specifically support approved Fusilier charities.
This essentially means that it is acceptable to use these pages to seek sponsorship for The Fusiliers Aid Society (which includes Fallen Fusiliers), and The Fusilier Memorial fund only.
We now have our own dedicated justgiving site (http://www.justgiving.com/fusiliersaidsociety), which you can use to help raise money for your cause. If you let RHQ (Asst Regt Sec) know the specific cause you are raising money for, it will be directed to the correct fund.
Messages soliciting sponsorship for causes or charities other than the Fusilier ones mentioned above should not be placed on the message board and may be removed by the Webmaster.
Messages posted in the last 24 hrs. are in White.
Help wanted IP: 217.44.192.163 Posted on 17/1/2017 at 22:04:10 by Dennis Laverick
I have had an e mail from
Clive Bretherton who Joined the junior soldiers at Kimnell Park Rhyl around 1970/71. He passed out to join 3rd Battalion Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. He arrived in Northern Ireland aged 17 and a half, but the new ruling had just come out that soldiers had to be 18 to serve in Northern Ireland, so was posted back to Bassinbone.
He was asked if he wanted to stay at Bassinbone until he was18 or join the 1st Battalion in Gibraltar. He chose to go to Gibraltar.
He joined 1st Battalion command company as a company clerk in Gibraltar 1971/72
The battalion was later posted to Northern Ireland
He left the Army in 1975
What I am trying to find is a group photo of Clive's passing out from junior soldiers or any photos you might be able to find.
This is all the information I have hope it is some help.
Thank you for your time.
Linda
