I first meet Dave when we had hirings close to each other in Bangor during our 1970 to 1972 tour, then we lived in flats near to each other in Berlin, I left the Battalion in 1976 however I was in Tesco Royal Avenue Belfast and Dave's wife said hello.

I attended a few reunions with Dave and his wife and always found them to be very nice people, along with Tom Hills, Robert Preece & wife we are going to miss him RIP Dave Gadsby
