Memories
are dim now, I'd almost forgotten all
about this episode in my life between 1952-1954. But
reading all the comments of my contemporaries on
these pages, I am quite moved - the place names, the
photos, the scary guard duties and the general awfulness
of Egypt. Yes we deserve a medal for surviving that
'active service'. E-mails from anyone serving with 73
Company (Air Despatch) RASC will be most welcome.

With Ken Roberts,
was HQ Company Clerk July 51 to July 52 when
Battalion moved to Goslar, and I was there the
sole HQ Coy Clerk until Mar 53. Who remembers CSM 'George' Scott (no relation, the open air cinema, the visit by the Paras after they were at Ismailia? Phew, didn’t our bogs tick, saluting Officers while they watered the Desert Rose. I would like to hear from anybody who was out there 1951 - 1953 and then in Goslar (Germany)1952 - 1953 with the Lincolns, ‘Posie’ Flowers, ‘Chirpy’ Day, Don Ling, Ken Roberts .....Scoffins etc. Good Luck to all who were out there. We left four. I knew two. Trained with one at Warwick before going out on the 'Empire Test'. I stayed back at Chichester Barracks on a course and travelled out with three regulars returning to Aqaba after Python leave. |
