3rd Bn PARACHUTE REGIMENT - Palestine 1945-1948

It is with sadness that I announce the death of my Father William Watts (Wattie), producer of this website. Wattie passed away peacefully on 8th September 2024 aged 98.

Although all visitors are most welcome, the main purpose of this website was to trace members of the 3rd Bn. Parachute Regiment,
who served in Palestine during the period 1945-48 and, if possible, reunite them with old friends
However, it appears that some of our visitors have difficulty finding the information they require, and, in these circumstances,
I have added an extra page containing suggestions as to the best way of navigating our website.
