 The pl WO seated middle front was WO Bonner, a lot of memories. Ray Hunter was my APC driver in 74 in Cyprus. One memorable night in 74 was going down the green line on New Years Eve in the midst of a firefight , going down to evacuate some OP's. I beleive thats the same night Errol Gapp won his medal of bravery at Mojave OP. I bet a lot remember those nights.
