Comments Its nice to find a group of people that shared the same experiences as myself. I was in Ish bringing out families during the week ending 19 Oct 1951 and remember the runs up the canal as we had radio links (10 sets) that were in isolated positions, never knowing what was waiting on those exposed roads. It's hard to believe that was 50 years ago, it seems like yesterday.

Comments Was a conscript medical officer doing my 2 years. Arrived Jan. 55 then sent later in the year to Amman Shaibah and then Mafraq.  Remember when one of my colleagues was getting a flight in a Canberra that swallowed a kite hawk on take off and aborted/crashed in a ball of flames.  Everybody got out alive.  Only other prang was when an Auster went into the desert over Cairo way.  Pilot rescued by my ambulance. We found the aircraft first. I got up in a Meteor and a Vampire T11 and liked it so much that when de-mobbed joined RCAF, took flying training and became a jet night fighter pilot with 410 (Cougar) Squadron. in Ottawa 1958.  Safaried to Bir Odeib one time with some of the RAF Regiment- about 100 out of 120 got D+V, the kitchen hands were also the thunder bucket emptiers!!  We also had some Askaris (East African Pioneer Corp) on base.  Some interesting things happened to them!  Over the railroad tracks was the staging base El Hamra and down the road past the Officers Lido on the shore of the Great Bitter Lake, was Fanara where some families were quartered.   Got back there in 1976 -- virtually everything gone -- sand all over the runways -- buildings flattened -- the thick stone walls of the chapel still stood however -- The whole place was a mess!   It was rather sad!
Yours, Alastair James Berry.

Comments I regret losing touch with those I served with. We were very young, from all walks of life, but the comradeship was first class. An even bigger regret, with hindsight, is the degree to which we were misinformed about the political situation and the reasons for our presence. We didn't ask enough questions. Perhaps we were grateful for just having missed the draft to Korea ! On leaving the Zone in December '54 my unit was posted to Habbaniya, Iraq. That ended in disaster too. It seemed that everywhere we went the Flag of Empire was being hauled down - usually to the strains of  'Colonel Bogey'

Comments I would like to get in touch with any of my fellow service members.  Two unforgettable circumstances when I served in the RA, August 1950 - 1952 stand out.
One is when I was working underneath a jeep and caught on fire.  Gunners saved me by running after me and rolling me in the sand.  I then went to Port Said
Hospital to recuperate. The other is being left in the desert while on traffic duty.  I was there from 5 a.m. to nightfall when my absence was noticed.  I received a
tin of pilchards for my dinner that night.  (My daughter knows better to serve them to me!)  Those 2 years were longer than any other I have known I believe this
speaks for the advocacy of medals for the MELF (Middle East Land Forces)!

You had a great time, met a good many mates and it made you grow up. You went in as a youngster but came out mature. Perhaps that is what we need now. Will be pleased to hear from any old mates.

Comments Guard and piquet duties every four days as well as 24 hour shift work in the signals section. Lousy food, most of the time we were confined to camp. Under Active Service, live ammunition, shoot to kill orders when challenged. All transportation had armed escorts. Had a food strike with the cookhouse, did not make any difference despite signals from Parliament from an MP. I was posted to Ish in April 1954, suffered there with the rest until November 1955 then posted to Cyprus, Ayios Nikolaos which was a wonderful posting despite the attentions of EOKA terrorists

"wonderful" El Firdan where we were both HGV drivers in the camp's MT section where we spent the following two and a half years. We flew home for demob
in September 1955, from Fayid in a converted Lancaster bomber but had to land at Malta where we stayed over a weekend after two engines failed in mid-flight.
We arrived at Lyneham, Wilts, to get our demob papers signed and kit handed in, in the middle of the night.  We couldn't have cared less - we were "out" at last!
