Sir, Thank you again for printing my letters about reuniting those who have served together in the Royal Navy. I am pleased that over the years I have managed to reunite lots who have served together, much with the co-operation of the local newspaper. My letters are often cut out and sent to someone who has served.

One of the main points in letters to me, is the missing of the camaraderie of those who served in the Royal Navy and ‘I wish I could relive some of it’, well thanks to a little bit of effort and co-operation, this can be done in the form of an ‘RN Shipmates Reunion’ which will be held over the weekend of February 27–March 2 in Bristol.

The Royal Navy is going to be in the news a lot in the coming weeks with a new aircraft carrier and a new Royal Marine band being formed, ‘The Fleet Band’ to coincide with the aircraft carrier, so hurry and find your old shipmates. Contact me for reunion details — Mike Crowe on mike.crowe1@btinternet.com or at 7 Heath Road, Lake, Sandown, Isle of Wight. PO36 8PG.
