Hi Bob,

My Dad was in the 26 Field Reg Royal Artillery in Dortmund back in the 70's/80's. I was born 1987, so I think he came home for good not long after. His name was Michael (Mick) Williams and he was from Newport, Wales. Dad had dark almost black hair and had blonde moustache and eyebrows He was also a bit of a short arse (5'6-5'7). I know he was a gunner and his service number was 24374254. Sadly I've not had contact with him since 2010, and have desperately tried to make contact for years, even tried via his nephew who has contact with him!
