Name: Robin Crosher Email: Location: UK Date: Monday September 24, 2007 14:33:20 GMT Comments: I have enjoyed renewing old memories of my brief (6 months) time in the KR at Langata Training Centre. It can't have been too bad because after returning to UK in 1959 I joined the University of London OTC, was commissioned into the Royal West Kent Regiment (TA). This was swallowed up with other SE England regiments to become The Queens Regiment. This too has been amalgamated within today's Princess of Wales Royal Regiment. I left after some 12 years service in the early 70's. |

I got the impression when it was disbanded, that it was the end of the road for it. Glad I was wrong. I have sent some photos in recently. Is there anyone out there that may recall our times together in No: 11 intake in 1958 Squad 2. Guard of Honour Duty for Princess Margaret, at the Kenya Agri: Show in Nairobi.I live on the Gold Coast in QLD. Drop me a line sometime. |

We went through the Panama Canal. Very interesting. We found Costa Rico the best place we saw as we found the flora very much like we were used to in Kenya. The people there very friendly. We stayed with Don kr. 4969 and Mary Rookensmith in Florida, for 4 nights before we caught the ship i Fort Lauderdale, and they were super hosts and we so enjoyed seeing them. They are both very well. I miss meeting up with our old rafikis and so that we can "whenweed" continously. |

Looking through the guest book, there is very little if anything on people with
regimental numbers of less that 1000, but then again they are probably rather
old by now and unlikely to go a-surfing on the net! My father joined up in
September
1939 aged 17 years, 6 months, so I assume would have been as young as one might
get to have fought the whole of WW II.
I also have some photos from his albums of that time. Once I have worked out how to drive a scanner, I will get them to you.
Thanks,

Comments: I remember one memorable event though when we played golf together in
a foursomes golf tournament representing Prince of Wales at Royal Nairobi Golf
Club - think it was called the Grigg Cup and it was for “old boys” who had
attended East African schools - and at one of the par three holes early in the
round Jimmy beaned a spectator by the side of the green (I think his name was
Ken Green and he was Golf Captain at the Railway course, Jimmy’s club). Anyway
we went down to survey the damage and there was the poor guy flattened by the
side of the green and an imprint of a “Dunlop 65” on his scalp. Needless to say
poor Jimmy was pretty shook up over the ordeal as Ken was a friend of his and
had come to support us and now was being taken to hospital to be stitched up,
so he did not play very well, which was understandable, for a number of holes
after that.
