I am trying to contact my best man from way back in 1966!! His name is 'Jock McAulden Dick'. I lost complete contact with him shortly after my marriage to Edith, but before I did, he sold me a Life Pension scheme on my stag night!! We were at the same location in Dortmund, Germany at the time, he being with the R.E.M.E. workshops attached to 47th Army Missile Regiment, Royal Artillery, and me being with the R.E.M.E. workshops attached to 27th Army Missile Regiment, Royal Artillery. The last contact I had with him was my wedding after which he returned to Scotland to peddle his pension schemes on the unsuspecting Scots!! Hope this is enough info. Jack. ic
