Does anyone know that whereabouts of Syd please?

I was a JREM1 being forwarded for the Upper Yardman Scheme when I put in for a transfer to the Buglers Branch of the Royal Marines, much to the displeasure of my D.O. & Sub D.O. I transferred successfully & I last saw Syd at Deal in 1979 or 1980.

He left to join the Diplomatic Corps & was posted to Jakarta & later to Washington DC. in the mid-1980s. I have not heard of him since that time.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Gary Martin

I wasn't born when he was at Collingwood but I'll ask some of the current collingwoodites who might have been. Phil Stammers is probably old enough!!

I was at C'wood with Syd in 1979/80 when he left to take a post in Havana, Cuba. He was great mates with Maurice Keat who was the VBI at Daedalus at the same time, perhaps he still keeps in touch. Also, I think it was a VBI called Phil something or other (sorry can't remember his surname) that I was told lives in a Bothey in deepest darkest Scotland. After Phil there was Len Lewry that took over at C'wood so he might know (a long shot I think).
Anyway, thanks for the memories of Syd, a brilliant trumpet player and socialiser....
