Thank you for accepting me into the group. My late father Bernard "Stormy" Gale and his brother Phil served with the Cameronians, and I'm very interested to know if anybody remembers them. (Although my dad would be 98 years old now...). He joined 1st Battalion in 1937 and left in 1962. He was a Bandsman, Band Sergeant and left as WO Class 2. He served in India, Burma, Gibraltar, Malaya, Bahrein, Kenya, Buxtehude etc. I have many photos that I can share if people are interested... Here he is in 1938, 1944 and then a group photo in Trieste 1949 just as a small sample!

From Montrose local paper regarding adding name to memorial and funeral service.

His sisters proudly at memorial Mid Links Montrose Angus.

Many thanks to Linda Flannigan of Yorkshire who sent of this picture of her grandad.
His name was William James Hoaksey. He married my Grandma who was from Hamilton and they went on to have 6 children. 3 of them were born in India.
He was the eldest of 17 children so probably joined the regiment to get away from all the life at home. He was very proud of his career.
He had four granddaughters and I finally had a brother. He was delighted as he lost 2 sons born in India.
Earliest memories are of him having us marching around their large garden when we came for Sunday dinner and boy could he shout. Lol
