Returning to Suez Canal (From Penarth Times)

Returning to Suez Canal

8:00am Thursday 10th January 2013 in Letters

I ORGANISE return visits back to the Egyptian Canal Zone where I served in the 1950s along with thousands of other personnel.

I know many service people in the area were stationed there during 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’ graves if anybody would like me to (complimentary). Also if any readers would like to join us on our next group visit (May 16-24). I still have a few places left.

We will be visiting Cairo and staying at a hotel in Ismailia overlooking Lake Timsa and visiting other places in the Canal Zone.

I am limited to 30 places on this reunion visit due to the fact that it is still a military restricted area. Spouses are welcome. If anybody is interested please contact me.
