Dear Editor, I am trying to find an old army pal who served in National Service in Hildesheim, Germany, between 1956 and 1958.

I have tried many sources but with no luck. Can you please help via your letters page?

His name is Brian Hipkiss and he was a boxing champion in Birmingham and in his youth he lived in the Sparkbrook area.

My name is Jim Baxter, 6 Mayfield Court, Mayfield Road, Orrell, Wigan, WN5 0HN.

We were in RAMC, 29 Field Ambulance, Clive Barracks, Hildesheim.

Also I am interested in contacting anyone else who was with us.

Jim Baxter,
Wigan.
