I really don't know if he was in the army i just assumed all i have been told is his 1st name & that he was in Catterick for 1 week. I have contacted the army about this & even with his full name they wouldnt have been able to give me any info anyway & suggested social media which I am attempted at the moment. I do know its highly unlikely who he is though |

I just put your name in Susan to show I was answering your suggestion. I was in the WRAF at the time this query is based. I was on RAF camps with army sections. I know about the logistics of moving a whole regiment for a week it would cause incredible problems and expense. |

Susan - I really don't know why you are upset by Pat's post. I can't see anything wrong in what she is saying.....and I don't understand what you mean by "she didn't have to name me". |

Susan I don't think they'd send a whole regiment to Catterick for just 1 week. He could have been delivering and installing something or on a short course. May have been with a regiment but could have belonged to a corps e.g. Royal Engineers. The corps men are attached to regiments then posted on to where required. |

I have a query over this as there's Catterick Garrison but in those days there was also RAF Catterick until 1994, then it got swallowed by Catterick Garrison. |

I have very little information all i know is that his name is John & that he based in Catterik for roughly 1 week in September/October 1973. I think he might have been in a scottish regiment |
