'Owdun'

Post by JR »

:( Its a Damm sad day when the likes of Owdun 'Frank' decides to quit because of all the 'Nobbers' and 'w@#k' poke their snouts in,Frank is probably the only remaining link with 40 Commandos departure from Palestine in the June of 1948,allthough I did not join 40 Commando untill the June of 1949 I never met up with Frank, we did know certain characters within the Commando,and I do regret not meeting a 'Gentleman' of the old school.If the likes of Owdun departs what chance have we got with stories from the old times.I know Frank is not the sort to back down from a punch up I for one would sooner have him alongside me than all of those Nobbers put together.Aye JR :fist:

JR, its a sad day indeed and I hope that Owdun will be back soon.
I guess there is only one way that it will happen though.

As it has already been stated, it is a shame that
he has left us, especially if it is because of some
D%^K heads,

But has anyone been in touch with him to see if he is ok?

I hope he is well and await his return.

Aye

I seem to have missed some posts somewhere! :-?

Where and when did Owdun wrap his hand in?

I don't understand why guys are going when we have 'The Bunker'.

:roll: Confined to 'Bunker',Its just one of those things we all have a tendency to poke our heads above the parapet and put things to right,I do venture forth and like Owdun jump in feet first,I have on a couple of occasions been very tempted to call it a day, then comes the call keep ya head down and ignore so I'll soldier on and keep on dashing back into the Bunker.Aye jr :roll: :roll:

Welcome back Owdun. Its good to have the older generation around, as you have been there and done it, worn the t-shirt and can pass the information on to us, which i regard highly. :)
