REGULAR readers to the ‘Letters to the Editor’ columns of this newspaper will recall the insertion of a letter of mine, explaining the camaraderie of those who had served in the Royal Navy. I explained that this could be relived at the various reunions held around the country and that these were listed on thernshipmates.co.uk site under ‘Reunions’.

Well thank you; you have certainly scored and made a lot of ex-servicemen think back again.

They have emailed me and the secretaries of various associations have contacted me. As a consequence a lot more reunions have been held and a lot more old shipmates reunited.

With Christmas and the new year celebrations behind us, reunions are again on the agenda, therefore could I ask reunion organisers and secretaries to let me have details of your reunion for listing.

This is a free service and can be done by themselves on the rnshipmates.co.uk site under ‘Reunions’ or by emailing the details to me on royalnavyreunions@gmail.com Mike Crowe RN Shipmates Sandown, Isle of Wight
