| My name is Bill Watts and
I have a website:- http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bill.watts
whose purpose is to reunite members of the 3rd Battalion, The Parachute
Regiment who served in Palestine during the period 1945-48.
Palestine Veterans Day, which will be held on the 18th October 2003 at Eden Camp, Malton, Yorks. This annual event is open to all servicemen, Army, Navy, Airforce and Palestine Police who served in Palestine during the troubles and all veterans and their partners are admitted free of charge. As I served with the 3rd
Bn during the troubles I am particularly concerned to attract as
many ex 3 Paras and I have added a page to my website to advertise
the event but - with the number of veterans dwindling year by year
- it can't get too much publicity

is gaining a reputation for extreme PWC events. In May this year John,
49 from Cheshire, set a record time for a Lands End to John O Groats run.
In 7 days John and the Voyager Jetski Team travelled 780 miles. The team
raised over £3226 for the British Heart Foundation.
In 2002, John and the team are planning to circumnavigate The Falkland Islands to raise money for SAMA 82 (South Atlantic Medals Association) and The British Heart Foundation. In 2002, it will be 20 years since the invasion and subsequent repatriation of the Islands and money raised will go towards helping the veterans of the conflict. Progress with the planning and reports of previous expeditions can be seen on the Team's website at: http://www.TheMedWeb.co.uk/jetski |
