"Lots of memories 1951-1952, vague except for two. Drove through an ambush near Quassasin on road to TEK better known as shotgun alley. Frequent experience for all drivers. Then. a confrontation with a lorry load of Egyptian Police all armed. My escort in the cab and two sappers in back of a covered 4x2 had broken down one evening on the Treaty road.

" Michael, I was also in 38 Engr Regt at the time you were there, but I was in 11 Squadron. The best advice I can give you, is to try the 38 Engineer Regiment web site and post a message on the board. It’s a good site and I’ve had a few of my old mates contact me through it. Good luck. Craig "
