16 Para (TA) group 1950s

I think this was infact a TA unit as I used to live in cardiff with my family on the base. Graham Alcock
So not 3 PARA

My father here on the extreme left was RSM at this time to this TA unit. We lived at Barry. After Barry and Cardiff my father was poeted to the Jamaica Battalion. We had three lovely years in Jamaica. Looking back it must have been like one of the last experiences of Empire. At the end of his tour Dad was offered a job in the Jamaican police but he declined the opportunity. We returned by troopship to the Uk and I met my grandparents for the first time at their farm in Swinefleet near Goole. It

It was from Cardiff that my father RSM J Alcock first wrote to Jean Koenig from Alsace Lorraine thanking him for his help in 1944 during the SAS Operation Pistol.

My father buried my brother at Cardiff cemetery-he died a few hours after birth in 1948-Graham alcock
