Comrades reunite as SSAFA Caseworkers

20 September 2019

A chance meeting at the Scots Guards Regimental Gathering on the 8^th September 2019 brought two fellow caseworkers together after 53 years. Graham Fowler, a stalwart of the Scots Guards Regimental Association and former Junior RSM of the Infantry Junior Leaders Battalion in Oswestry, met up George Givens, who was manning a SAFFA stall at the Scots Guards reunion in Fife. 

George, Chairman of SSAFA Fife and himself a former Junior Leader and Queen’s Own Highlander, last saw Graham at Oswestry in 1966. 

Both wanted to help and support our veterans when they finally retired and became volunteer caseworkers a number of years ago – Graham with Brighton and Lewes Sussex SSAFA and George with SSAFA Fife.

 

"it was great to meet Graham after so many years.  We both have many happy memories of our time as young Junior Soldiers" - George
