MAY I appeal to those shipmates who served in "C" Class destroyers, i.e. CA, CO, CH and CR vessels, to join our Association.

The 8th Destroyer Flotilla/Squadron Association was originally limited to those who served in the 8th in the Far East, from 1945 to 1963. But we are now broadening our membership and are extending a sincere invitation to our sister shipmates to join us wherever they may have served.

We have a smashing reunion in Scarborough each September, where you will be made warmly welcome. The joy on a shipmate's face when he meets up again with an old comrade is always a pleasure to behold.

May I add that the ladies form an important part of the Association, and are equally valued and welcome. Details and membership forms are available from me.
