Cemetery visit
11:50am Tuesday 30th October 2012 in Letters
Sir.–I know that many service people who live in your circulation area were stationed in the Egyptian Canal Zone during the trouble times of the 1950s.
Many of our service personnel died and are buried in the cemeteries that we visit – Ismailia, Fayid, Moascar, Tel-el- Kebir.
I will take photos of any friends’ or loved ones’ grave if any of your readers would like me to.
Also, if any of your readers would like to join our next group reunion May 15-24, I still have a few places left.
–Alf Avison, Middle East Land Forces Association, PO Box 99, Spalding, Lincs.
