| Comments | I am Karen, Pat's daughter and
am trying to find any information about his time in the Canal Zone. My Mum (Ada) & sister (Wendy) were both in Egypt with my Dad. He was a Colour Sergeant with the 1st Battalion, Royal Sussex Regiment. He talked about his time there often, but I would love to hear from anyone who remembers him. I have many photos taken out there and the people he mentions in the album are: Bert & Olive, Jerry & Ginger (Ginger is a dog!!), Legs, Smudger, Jerry (Darkie?) Webb and Mrs Webb, Dusty Miller, Nick, Tasty, Jack, L/Cpl Moule and Mrs Moule with daughter Pat, Mrs Fleet with children Jimmy and David, Jimmy 'Cracker' Smith, Mrs Spencer, Padre Price, Teddy Leach, Capt. Jorgensen and Jack. I am particularly keen to contact Jerry Webb and his wife Ella if anyone can help! Places mentioned are: Timsah, Port Tewfick, Suez, Moascar, Ataka, Hodgson Camp, Aqaba and a children's party at the Crusader Club. I think the site is excellent and will be applying for a medal on my Dad's behalf. Well done for the campaign. Please contact me on the email address given. Thank you. Karen. |

| Comments | Some lads I served with R.J.Tipping ( Bedfordshire ) E. Marshall, J. C. Baker (Lincolshire) J. Small (Sussex) B. Jowle, G. Rushforth, B. Houston, J. Sykes
(all from Yorkshire) R. McLean ( Worcester. ) Some of these flew
out with me special draft to Cyprus before being transfered to TEK
due to usual army organisational cockups. Would like to hear from anyone
who is still alive who remembers me? Would like pictures of TEK and
any of the troopship 'Empire Fowey'. When checking my official service record any mention of Middle East service is omitted suggest others check official records! |
