BRYAN BLAKELOCK is looking for two former army friends with links to the region.
Fred Black and a man known as Gunner Dean, or Deano, served with Mr Blakelock in 40 Battery 18 Field Regiment in Germany and Hong Kong from 1962 to 1968.
Mr Black is from North Yorkshire. Their friend was from Barbados, but it is believed he has moved to England and has friends in the North-East.
Anyone who can help can contact Mr Blakelock on 01429-837962 or bryan.blakelock@mypostofice.co.uk.
