L/Cpl Dave Bowron. Have known him over 40 years, he was my recruit corporal. He was one of the hardest, toughest b/ards whilst l was doing my selection, but that was his job, to get you to the point to pass selection. Out of a 96 recruit intake only 12 got through to the final selection. This selection process was only to say you was good enough to possibly good enough to be a Para. Still had to do your Parachute course. Once you had earned your wings, Dave became one of the best friends a man could ever make. Sadly earlier this year Dave lost both his legs through infection, but he is still proud and lives on his own.
