PAUL
LOSEBY. I joined the Royal Marines in 1966 and whilst at the RM Deal Depot
in Kent, I met and fell in love with a Wren Officer's steward DENISE
WEBBER from Minehead, Somerset. We became engaged but I wanted to
become an officer and it wasn't felt suitable, by senior officer's, that
we shoul be together. So, without our consent, Denise was moved to
HMS Raleigh in Pltymouth and I was sent to Aden. I would love to
hear from her to find out how she has got on in life. Mail to

HEDLEY
MURTON I am sure that many of the lads, as we were, would love to
know how our favourite wren from HMS Mercury, got on in life. Her
name was ANNA LEVERSON-GOWER, and she was a transport driver, beloved by
all the communications branch for her practise of scrubbing her name off
the wardroom dance list and then visiting the wet canteen. A lovely
lady and a "big sister" to all of us. If someone was coming off watch
and needed a ride to the nearest bus stop, Anna would prevail upon her
assigned passenger, often the padre, to gain a seat in the tyransport.
As I said, a good, good friend. Contact haidakip@waitrose.com

MIKE CORBIN. I have been trying to make contact with a Wren I
was stationed with at HMS Vernon, but, I cannot remember her surname.
Her name was Jane and she came from Liverpool. We served at Vernon
in 1964/65 before I went across to HMS Dolphin to do my submarine training.
Unfortunately in those days, as soon as you finished training you
were sent to sea, and in my case, to the Far East on the A boat HMS Andrew.
By the time I got back I had lost touch with her. At the time that
I knew her she had a friend called Ann, also a Wren who lived in Weymouth
who was going out with an RPO from HMS Vernon, and we used to go out together.
My family lived in Northampton at the time and Jane and I visited on long
weekend leaves. It would be really nice to know how she is and what
she has been doing over the last 35 years E-mail
mike@corbin35.fsnet.co.uk
.
I served at HMS Dolphin 87/88 and was engaged to Wren Wtr. Lynette
Ogden. However we went our separate ways when I left the service.
