 I was there 1950-1954, I was a anti tank gunner and we escorted anyone using the road. They sent me back to England to train as a gunner, it was a very nerve racking time for all who served there. I joined up at 171/2, I did not wait to be called up, and I feel strongly that we at least deserve the General Service Medal. We seem to be forgotten as if it never was. It was not an easy time for anyone, it was hard on the nerves, we served our country but got no thanks for it everything that came after got recognition for what they did. I was demobed in 1956 but was only home six weeks when I was called back as the trouble flaired up again, so I serverd two spells of duty there. I agree with what you are trying do and will gladly give my support. When I was demobed I ended my sevice a five star guardsman, if anyone still remembers me, I would like to from them, you can e-mail at my sisters e-mail address.

 We took the Royal Marines down the Canal in 1952 and seemed to spend the next year sitting in the lakes or running up and down the Canal, sometimes running
up to Cyprus to pick up stores for the rest of the Flotila.

 As a photographer with Army PR that is one of the few photographers in the zone. I was loaned to all and sundry by the Colonel commanding PRS. This entailed working with the SIB on some murders and accidental killings etc. One job I remember well was taking pictures of 4RTR who had come to the zone from Korea. The general opinion of the tankies was that they preferred Korea to the zone. A quote from Kipling... "It's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' 'Chuck him out, the brute! But it's 'Saviour of  'is country when the guns begin to shoot."

Addition Jan 2002
Arrived in Egypt August 1952 and served at Engineer Grp. Fanara in "Kims Army" (Kim Lt.Col. Hargreaves RE.) Passed trade test (Photographer B11) Posted to No.1Army Public Relations Service at GHQ. Public Relations? there was only three photographers in the Zone consequently we were loaned to anybody. My first job for SIB was photographing a dead African soldier who had been  murdered and left in the desert for some weeks in August 1953. Nice smell! I didn't eat for three weeks afterwards. Then posted to open section in HQ Cyprus District. Interesting about the medal problem, the same thing happened to me in Cyprus. Although I was there for the start of the Enosis campaign the medal qualifying date started after I returned home. I missed the medal by a week and it was not back dated.

 I am looking for anyone who might remember my dad, Flight Sergeant George A. West who served in the Royal Air Force until 1957. We were in Suez in 1949-1951[approximately]and sailed back to England on the Windrush. We were in some sort of a camp in Tripoli after being evacuated out of Suez in large army trucks. I remember so many things about Suez even though I was a child at the time. Anyone out there who might remember Dad, please get in touch. He died in 1989, and I am very interested in his military history. I am not sure which base he was stationed at, as we lived in Suez proper.

 I arrived in the Port Said aboard the Troopship H.M.S. Ken. towards the end of Feb.1951. From there I was posted to Moascar. Must say I had quite an enjoyable stay, apart from the flies, mosquitoes and the constant stench, things could have been a lot worse. I represented the R.E.M.E. in cricket. Played a few times in Cairo and Alexandria. I helped build the steps to the high diving board at the swimming pool in Moascar. After making many friends there, (only wish I could track some of them down)I was discharged in August 1952. From there I had to do 2 or 3 years of Z training. What a waste of time and money that was. What an excellent site. Brings back a lot of good memories. Keep it up. Thanks.
