Dedicated to publicising the
23 Parachute Field Ambulance Old Comrades Association
This Association encompasses any member or ex member of any Rank, Trade or Cap Badge who has been on the establishment of an Airborne Medical Unit
We have a current membership of over 300 serving TA and Regular ex members with 
a service time frame from the initial units formed in 1944 up to the current 16 Close Support Medical Regiment with its integral 144 Para Medical Squadron volunteers, Parachutists, Air-landing and Non Parachutist but all members have served on the working establishment of a British Airborne Medical Unit. We try to bind members together with the production of at least three Newsletters per year plus at least two opportunities to get together one at either end of the country namely London and Carlisle, furthermore we try to put members in contact with each other by acting as an intermediary for them. Members are requested to promote the Association with any of their pals by giving them our contact details.
Their Current Secretary and webmaster is Major (Rtd) Bob Wickings who joined 23 PFA in August 1959 and remained in airborne service until November 1980, during which time he served with the Guards Independent Parachute Company and 144 Parachute Field Ambulance (TA) as it was known back then. His service then moved out to the RAMC mainstream as Quartermaster in BMH Hanover , BMH Hong Kong and then as QM of 4 Armoured Field Ambulance / Garrison QM for Minden finally moving to become the Admin Officer for 'A' Company The Kings Own Royal Border Regiment (V) until his retirement in 1994
