THIS year the 1st Battalion Border Regiment are mounting a sustained effort to locate previously serving members for the reunion on May 7, as age is obviously reducing the numbers each year.

Many were recruited from your area and of course people have migrated since leaving the army.

The informal dinner/dance will be held at The Shepherd's Inn, Carlisle. Tickets cost £15 and can be obtained from John Mallinson on 01228 520877.
