Redcap Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 lol - beaten to the punch, yeah, Redcap 70 is an excellent resource. You can also contact the RMP Museum, now located at: The RMP Museum DCPG PP38 Southwick Park Nr Fareham Hampshire PO17 6EJ Tel: 023 9228 4372 I found them incredibly useful in researching the Cold War period for CWP, and while they don't hold soldiers records, they have all the archives of the RMP Journal, and unit / divisional scrap books as well Quote
james-sas Posted March 25, 2009 Author Posted March 25, 2009 Yet again thank you! so is it normal for the 118 team to pick up "faults" in there sons uniform? something i've experienced for a good few years!! Quote
Redcap Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 lol - Wouldn't know - my old man was Int Corps, and practically refused to talk to me for a few years when I opted for the RMP - some of most peaceful years for a while that I remember :evil: Quote
