Hi all
Definately Greg Price at the end of the passing out parade snap, with Tom (The Chipper) Sheen beside him.
Rose young boy in short trousers is Liam Heffernan.

Charlie ,
It could be me and then it could not, I cant remember what I looked like way back then, but if you say it tis, pal then I believe it
Every time I tried counting 13 after I worked out left from right one of them moved.
A good day out for Derry last Sunday Kildare felt sorry that the Oakers had to travel so far and thought it would be nice to let them go home with a point of a win, sound people Kildare people

Charlie Brown from somewhere in Norn Iron (Best recruit)? - Man beside sgt Price is the late Billy Barry RIP.
Billy was one of about 5 exers who rejoined and were in our Pl.If I'm not mistaken (or thinking whishfully) that's me 9th from right.
Lovely blast from the (very distant) past!

Well Hello Joe Hassett. Long time no hear. That indeed is your youthful self 9th from right. A little along is myself and our beloved Forum Veteran Andy Brennan. Well I remember you from those fun packed days. I'm not from just somewhere in Norn Iron but The City of Culture, as good Pal Andy will confirm as I had the pleasure of his company just last weekend for a visit up here. Came across Andy on this Forum a couple of years ago and we have been it touch since. If you remember me, you will remember Andy. Hope to hear from you again. Best wishes.
Charlie.

Hi there. I know this is a 'cheeky' request but I am wondering if anyone would have any photographs including my brother Joseph Moorehouse who served in the Curragh late 60's/70's? I think he served in Cyprus at one time.It would be great to see any photo' including him in group on your pages. Many thanks for all the interesting info and discussions
