THANKS to newspaper editors up and down the country the British Element Trieste Force Association has recruited 28 new members and 10 associate members over the past year.
This association was formed in 2002 for those ex-servicemen who served in the Free Territory of Trieste from 1945 and 1954. In addition to the veterans, average age 85, we welcome family members as associates, some of whom spent time in Trieste as children. Photographs and memories are published in a quarterly magazine and further information is available on the association website. Regional meetings are held in various parts of the country. The 2017 annual reunion will be in Cardiff over the weekend of Friday March 17, to Sunday, March 19, 2017. If you are interested in joining please get in touch with me by phone on 01665 589289, by emailing dagriggs@btinternet.com or write to Suilven, Ellingham, Chathill, Northumberland, NE67 5HA.
