I was with Pete in Arakan Platoon from Sept '80 till we passed out in June/July(?)'81. Pete was a really nice guy and although we weren't the best of friends we got on well together, as did all the platoon. From Sept '81 till April '82 we were both in A Coy in Prince Phillip Barracks, Bordon, were we were based while doing our trade training as gun fitters at SEME. The last time I saw Pete was on the 7th May '82 when we flew to West Germany for our first postings. The next time I heard about Peter was only a few months/year later, when I heard he had been killed in an accident while changing the barrel on a Chieftain MBT. My thoughts are still with him.
Any details, memories or photographs that you may have would be most welcome.
