Hi Jim, Richard Tees was contacted by the daughter of an old Army pal who served with him in Burma. He unfortunately died not long after he was demobed from the Carbs. His daughter was 5 when they left Tidworth for Civvy street but she still has lots of memories of living in married quarters there, some of the family names she remembers are The Baltens,the Wilkinsons the McNabb,and the Duff families, something else that may jog a few memories they lived near or in Kandaha Block. She is trying to find out as much about her dad as she can I have pointed her to the MOD for his records and other stuff. However she would like to hear from the people who knew him/them. She has sent me two photo,s of her Dad Dennis Lees taken at a party in Tidworth I have scanned them and am including them with this note. It feels odd to ask for information about a guy who was leaving the Army when I was only 2 years old. So if you have time and space, I know that the bulk of those on the site may also be youngsters like us but they may know older Carbs that they could ask, lets hope we can find some one who can fill in the gaps for her. I think some time ago we put a photo of the Regimental Hocky team from Tidworth circa 1949-50 on the site well  he Dennis Lees is the guy sitting behind the cup in the center of the bottom row. Just for added information his wife is still alive and his son joined the Junior Leaders and then The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.
