Looking for 1RCR Recce from 1970 to 1974
« on: March 06, 2009, 09:07:00 PM »
I left the Army in 1977 due to medical reasons but would love to be in contact with my friends in Recce Platoon from 1970 through 1974 from CFB London. Thank you and you can contact me at

Hello Ken I have a pic on the wall of Reece in Cyprus 74/75, Jim Shields was the platoon commander, he is now my co here at Blackdown Borden, I have lost track of most of the rest of the guys.

Hello Ken I have a pic on the wall of Reece in Cyprus 74/75, .

Could you please email me the picture? I was supposed to go that year too but ended up in the hospital for over 6 months with Agent White (Gagetown) complications.Was only released around the time you guys were returning and only weighed 63 pounds according to my medical records. They sent me home to die. I just taking my time about it. LOL - Wasn't Capt. Patton our Platoon commander until he was shot?
