KenB and MM,
MM, I found a photo of your father under the D Battery group picture and have enclosed it here. Unfortunately there was no member named Noble in any of the Battery group photographs.
Under the 'Sports in Review' section it states that the Regimental basketball team were the British Army Champions in 1966. I've enclosed the page of photos of the team in action.
I acquired the souvenir booklet in 1972 from a Lieutenant DCD Milne of E Battery, 2 RCHA, then stationed in Gagetown. I, as a young lad, had written to the unit asking for information on the Regiment. Milne replied and enclosed the book in his letter to me. I don't where you would obtain a copy now other than going to military shows and hoping you see one somewhere for sale. In all my years of going to shows however, I have never seen one. Unfortunately, mine is not for sale. I will provide any photos from it if requested.
I also received a reply from a letter I sent to 3 RCHA at the same time. It was written by the CO, LCol WD Wellsman, and included a ton of photos of guns and soldiers. He also write a one-page description on how a light artillery regiment worked along with a link diagram with the personnel establishment on it. Quite a treasure trove of information. I've always been treated rather well by all of the artillery personnel I've ever met.
Hope this helps,
Dan.
