Hi Everyone

The memories of my great friend John Huntington are now on site.

John Served in No 12 & No 1 Cdo from 1940-45..we embarked on a project together of getting his memories down on paper. Sadly John passed away this June and the task was not finished. I have typed up what we did complete and with the consent of his family I am now pleased to post them for your enjoyment.

We will remember them.

Best regards
JohnM

Hi Nic

Thanks for reading....it was such a pleasure knowing John the account hardly does the man justice.

But at least now it's here for everyone to share.

Best regards
