Our OC Major Ray Vincent and WO I Bob Hubbard are ,o in their last years of service. It seems as soon as one or the other puts in for a Resettlement course the other follows! Corporal Graham Moore was very pleased on his return to 89, after his marriage to Susan Hazell as he found out that all his food charges from 1st July 79 have been claimed back! A nice wedding present from the Chief Clerk. Congratulations to Corporal Terry and Patricia Gallagher on the birth of their son John Patrick.

Things are getting back to normal in Building 10. Sergeant Tony Griffiths is back from his UK leave and raring to go. Staff Sergeant Paul Robinson has a smile on his face— could be the thought of a new car or perhaps he just needs a new saddle on his bike. Corporal Alan Simpkins wife has passed her driving test so there's no keeping them in Dulmen n w except when he does one of his bar-b-q 1 s and we all know v en that has taken place by the smell of charcoal. Lance Corporal Colin Wilks is looking forward to another visit from the stork and Private Paul Johnson has used up two boxes of matches keeping his eyes open from the storks last visit. Private Ray Ward's day doesn't go by without a trip up the stairs to complete yet another * Notice to Carriers T and Private Chris Hemms has us all in stitches with his excellent cartoons of the staff. Private Geordie Houston (pardon Sir) and Private Mark Jennings are looking forward to their leave and Private Tankie Townsend is keeping us all in suspense over his engage- i.-ent will he or won't he? Private Steve Bourne is still j .eping the MHE on the road and has us all wondering why he has that certain smile on his face, something to do with Decem- ber. WOl Pete Pearson refuses to talk to anyone about fishing. AH the staff of CDP congratulate Lieutenant Grossman on his recent engagement, this would have been done earlier but we were not sure just who he was? Last but not least, we wish Corporal Ron Gant and family a very enjoyable leave. Next month, a mention of our civilian staff (multi-national). ADMIN, Our mythical ex-Guardsman has made his last call at the PX Store Berlin on the pretext of bringing his family back to Dulmen (welcome to them). Corporal Noble has just become a proud and tired father, as has Corporal Smudge Smith. Both had healthy bouncing boys—congratulations from everyone. But sadly, however, we must say 'An rcvoir' to Smudge who has been posted to the Apprentices College. We would like to welcome Captain Barnham RAPC, our new Depot Management Accountant (W02 White breathes a sigh of relief). W u l f e n Station f PRIDE of place this month must go to the Station Cricket Team who have com- pleted a notable double in winning the Rhine Area League and the BAOR Cup Competition.

SSD. After twenty one months of loyal service to the SSD, 1 Ol Paddy Starrett has left for UK to attend his necessary e~comrnissioning courses at Deepcut. His contribution to the SSD and his help and advice to all those who knew him will be greatly missed and his send-off reflected the esteem in which he was held. To WOl Freemantle who takes the honoured position of the 2IC, we extend a very warm welcome and hope that his family will enjoy the good life that Dulmen has to offer. New arrivals, apart from Lance Corporal Orrnston's baby daughter, are Sergeant Woodcock, Lance Corporals Pankhurst, Clarke and Private Jordan. Welcome to you all. FVD Senior Ranks got just revenge for last years soccer defeat at the hands of the Senior Ranks of 154 FAD, FVD beating 154 this year: eight to one.
