-I hope friends and relatives of Eric Moore do not mind my adding this here.

- Eric Moore was and early contributor to Gosport.info (his first emails are dated 2003) he sent in the item below as he was trying to trace families and friends and was kind enough a bit later to advise that there had been some success. Unfortunately it was when someone else was trying to contact him that I have been advised that he died on the 29th May 2006.

My name is Eric Moore I Have live now for 31 years in New Zealand with my family , I was born at 228 Forton Road right next to the Elm Tree pub on 17th May 1929 and lived there to 1947. I worked at the RNA Depot at Bedenham with my Father as a young boy .

Joining the Royal Marines at Eastney Barracks Southsea on the 3rd February 1947, I served for 24 years, up mainly in 45 Commando, retiring on the 6th Nov 1971 , I lost touch with my family over the years due to being stationed at the MOD Whitehall in London from 1961 to 1971 never being able go back to Gosport. I was the driver to 3 Commandant Generals of the Royal Marines as a Sergeant. Emigrated to New Zealand from London on the 6th January 1972 with my Wife Ann and our two sons arriving here on 17th February.  I became a senior prison officer in Auckland for 17 years, finally retiring in July 1989. I then lived in Manurewa which is part of Manukau City next to Auckland City , so there you are my life history - Eric Moore .
