Do i need a sponsor to join the CVA?

I wish to join the CVA as an associate (as my grandfather was an army commando), it appears that I need a sponsor, is this correct? and if so will a full member sponsor me?

I am not 100% sure but I believe you need a full member to sponsor you. I see your grandfathers details from a previous entry from Bill Harvey so I know he was in No.4 Commando .

"In the July 1990 list compiled of those in No4 who served at Dieppe your grandfather is listed as serving. 4469318 Pte. Richards T. Durham L. I "

I have no doubt Geoff Murray or someone else from the CVA will contact you. If associate members are allowed to sponsor people to join by all means use my name

Hi Mark

When I joined I just simply filled in an application form and left the sponsorship part blank, this was then sent to Geoff Murray with the membership fee and I assume that some one at the Official end "did the honours" and completed the required sponsorship details. After a short time I got a nice letter of welcome from Geoff, it was as simple as that.

Hope this helps

Cheers Andy
