Hi everyone, I am trying to find out (for other interested parties) whether Robert Astrella is still alive? Also, are there any other members of 7th still with us that can be contacted directly?? I cannot find any information regarding 'Annual Reunions' for them. Thank you for you time in reading this post.  Nate

It is with very deepest regret that I would like to inform the forum that Robert L. Astrella passed from us on 12th July 2007. Like his namesake, Robert Sand, Robert Astrella created a unique and priceless colour record of his entire time in England serving his country with 7th PRG. His legacy is an extraordinary collection of images that will continue to envoke wonder and enjoyment, whilst offering one of clearest insights of life on a base, during wartime, for generations to come. He leaves behind a wife, daughter and two sons, with numerous Grandchildren. Our prayers go with them! For your contribution to the war effort in service, and for the astonishing collection you have left to history, with pictures such as this....  Robert we salute you!
