About

Troopship Memories is related to British Light Infantry Regiments websites and various other websites and Guestbooks and other inter linked sub pages, that portray the growing interests of enthusiastic “Old Soldiers” of yesteryear. The Editor of this site is former 1DCLI who served as a N/S in 1953 - 1955 and later with the Glosters as a Territorial. We all have memories but what we do about it will be reflected on the cross correspondence that emanates from this new Blog Page.

Fortunately we have a marvellous internet technology that enables rapid transfer of digital files and information, which if coupled with the desire to look for and find old mates and comrades, and to share stories and memorabilia, will help us reconstruct history while we’re still living.

When one reads the poignant Guestbook messages from younger generations seeking military information for just Fathers, let alone Grandfathers and Great Grandfathers, then one can quickly recognise the need for websites and blog facilities such as this. So reader, GOYA and search the attic and the old photo albums - and your grey matter - and muster up.

We want your story!!
