Always a welcome visitor among the members of the Long Eaton Old Contemptibles’ Association is Regimental Sergeant Major A. B. Leivers, M.M., who is now serving in England with an administration section of The Green Howards. He is at the moment enjoying a few days’ leave and Mr A. J. Sheppard (organising Secretary of the Long Eaton Branch of the Old Contemptibles’ Association) told us during a chat the other day that R.S.M. Leivers will be visiting Long Eaton on Sunday morning. He hopes to meet as many local Old Contemptibles as are able to be present at the routine meeting of the Association at the Blue Bell Inn. It should be a happy reunion.
