with the 39’rs for a good number of years before going to (I think) 18th Heavy artillery in about 1960 or 61.
Sadly Dad died back on 25thMay 1970 in Thundersley, Essex
I don’t know if you have any current website
or other contact points where I can obtain any information about Dad.
If so, I’ll be delighted to hear
from you.
With thanks
Mike

Dear Cabby
It is with regret that I write to
advise you of the death of my father,
Mick Wood, on Monday 20th July 2015. He suffered a fatal heart
attack playing golf, and this provides some comfort to me and my sisters and
the rest of our family and friends as he always said he wanted to go out
quickly and with a golf club in his hands.
We are aware that he had been in
contact with you recently and made a
contribution to the maintenance of your website, something which I will also do
in the future in his name. We had been talking about potentially making a visit
to his old stomping ground in Germany next year so I hope this is something I
can do for him at some stage in the future on his behalf. If and when I do I
would like to contact you for more information.
If anyone would like to pay their
final respects to my dad, the funeral
service will take place at Fartown Trinity Methodist Church on Spaines Road,
Fartown, Huddersfield, at 13.00 on Wednesday 29th July,
followed by a burial at Edgerton Cemetry at 14.00, and thereafter a wake at
Cowcliffe Liberal Club, Netheroyd Hill Road, Cowcliffe, Huddersfield.
Keep up the good work.
All the very best.

Hello Cabby,
I'm writing in relation to my Dad Jim Swingler from
Hull who died when I was two back in 1968. I have recently obtained
his service records from the MOD and have discovered that he served in 171
Battery 39 Regt RA at Sennalager between December 1961 and Dec 1964 before
being posted to Larkhill where he met my Mum. His service records state
he was on Howitzers whilst with 171 Battery.
He was discharged from the Army on 28 Jun 1968 due
to illness and passed away 3 months later on 6 Sep 1968 from Lymphoma aged
25.
I too served in HMF (RAF) and spent a few years in
Germany not realising my Dad had served there before me.
I would be very grateful to hear from anyone who
has any memories of him. jimboswing@btinternet.com
Best regards
Jim Swingler
May He Rest in Peace

Hello
My brother
served in the 39 Missile Regiment
RA. He was based mainly in Sennalager, Germany around 1969 to 71.
He was
a driver for one of the
colonel/major and was also the barman in either the officers/sergents mess.
His
name was Paul Derek Markland when
he was in the army. (Originally from Birmingham) Born 30/1/1955 passed away
suddenly on the 15/11/2010 in Northern Ireland. He reverted back to his
original surname of Hawkins in 1981.
Would
be grateful for any information
or photographs. He didn't talk much about his time in the army, but I know he
served in Ulster, 1970-71.
As remembrance
day is coming up and it
being so close to his anniversary I wanted to reach out and see if there was
any group linked to the 39th Missile (Medium) Regiment RA and came across your
website.
Look
forward to hearing from you.
Anthony
Hawkins
May he Rest in Peace

E mail from Karen Usher (Billy’s wife) Dated 22 Oct 2010
Bill Usher passed away on the 6th Sep. 2010 He was in
hospital after having a tube fitted into his stomach for liquid feed but he had left it too late and had got too de-hydrated
and mal nourished, so really never recovered. He wanted it all to come to a finish as once his voice had gone he felt life
was finished for him. I wouldn’t wish him here to suffer but it goes without saying I miss him dreadfully. I can tell
you he loved being in touch with the 39ers and really loved the Reunion 2009 at Blackpool last year.
Best wishes to you all,

It is with regret that I must tell you that my father has now passed

He had been in Hospital for a while, had a leg amputated 2 months ago, but would not take treatment.
Docs decided 10 days ago that they could do no more and were making arrangements to move him to St.

Funeral is on Wednesday 12 August 14.30 @ Mortonhall

From his sin, David. My father (passed away after a long illness in Nov. 1984) was in the R.A.
from 1950-1972. 10 of these years he spent with 39 in Sennerlager. I believe from 1956- 1966.
His name is also David Rowlands and we use to live in the Luckesastr. He always told me about his good times
