My Apoligies if any are missing from this list.
Many thanks to all who contributed at the Blackpool Reunion.
The aim of this Web site is to bring together all old comrades of all arms who
served together in 36 Regiment Royal Artillery.
The Regiment was put into Suspended Animation in 1977, and we feel that it is very
important for old comrades to be able to attend Annual Reunions and make
contact with their old comrades.
36 Regiment was a real family Regiment, the Regiment may no longer
be with us, but the family remain.
We are intent on keeping the spirit of the Regiment alive.

Eyes Front
Welcome to our Web site. You have found the site that is dedicated to all who
served in, or were associated with the Biggest and we think the Best Regiment
that was in service in the Royal Regiment of Artillery.
36 Heavy Air Defence Regiment was put into Suspended Animation on
the 31st December 1977, and since then, the spirit of the Regiment has
been carried on by Annual Reunions.
These Reunions had been held at the University of East Anglia in Norwich,
and were organised by Brian and Jan Greenland, and after the sad passing
of Brian, by Jan herself. Since 2002 the Reunions have been organised
by Reunion Secretary Paul Barber with help from
Keith (Monty) Houldey and myself.
We look forward to receiving your photos and stories. Please navigate
around the site and find out about future Reunion's, the History of the
Regiment and its Batteries, the Thunderbird Missile System, and lots more.
Please sign our Guestbook we are interested to hear what you think,
renew old friendships, and make new one's.
We hope you find our Web site interesting and informative.
For all ex members of the Regiment, of all arms, please take time to fill in the
information form that you will find on the Trace a Mate page, we will then

But it's the deeds that were done beneath that moth eaten rag,
when that pole was a staff, and that rag a battle flag"
Rules of Engagement
This is an unofficial military web site.
This site serves as a Reunion and Information site for my old Regiment. It enables ex members of 36 Regiment to
renew links and keep in touch. It's my site with my views and opinions and doesn't reflect Army policy or doctrine.
The photo's are mine or have been sent by friends. The camaraderie, spirit de corps, and pride is what commanders
from since the dawn of time have tried to instill and desired from their troops.
If anyone would like to use any images on this web site, please e-mail me.
