I am interested in contacting any surviving members of the 3rd Carabiniers who served with my late father, Sgt. Gerard (Jerry) Barriscale, in the 1950's and 1960's, up to 1967/8 when the regiment was based at Chester.

 Perhaps this might be possible through the Regimental Association.

 I would be particularly interested in any photos & memories that they might be willing to share, (scanned photos etc).

 Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

 Regards,

 Stephen Barriscale.

Jim,

 

Thanks for your e-mail regarding information about comrades of my dad, Sgt Gerard Barriscale .

 

I have spent an enjoyable couple of hours on your excellent website but didn't find too many familiar names.

 

I think that my mother mentioned Bunny Thubron occasionaly. I have been in contact with Mrs Maureen Beck, (who was a great friend of my mother), whose husband was "Jock" Beck. I also have been in contact with Tommy Byrne from Dublin who served with Dad. Other names that come to mind are the Kelly's and the Ellerby's.

 

I think dad served with HQ sqn and I remember him both on horseback and also with "Ferret" armoured cars.

 

I' ve attached a old army photo. Dad is on the right in the back row, perhaps you can help I.D. the others, (in spite of the gasmasks).

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Regards,

 

Stephen Barriscale.
