Following an auction in Colwyn Bay I won a lot which among pictures was a picture of 45th Commando Royal Marines 788 Squad who finished training on 8-3-63 Among them was David Macdonald Wilson. I have a photograph album compiled for his parents by Peter Riddell. David was killed on 26th May 1964 (No. 21814). It contains snaps and formal photographs of the grave. David hailed from Liverpool. There appears to be no memorial to him in Liverpool I can find, I would like to know how I can getting his name remembered and where I can send the items so that they could be displayed so he is not forgotten Any help would be of great assistance Regards Rodger Bullock |

My Dad Glyn Parry served in Aden around 61/62/63, he was in the 17/21st Lancers. Can someone tell me if the govt decided that those who served in Aden were awarded campaign medals? Dad joined the boys army before going to his regiment. He is 84 now and has dementia. I feel so sad that on rememberance day he has no medals despite what he went through in Aden. |

I am researching a project involving National Service and would be interested to speak or make contact with any National Servicemen, in particular those who served in Aden or Korea, but the experiences of all National Servicemen would be regarded with great interest. I have no political views on the merits or demerits of National Service, or its restoration; my wish is to represent as accurately as possible the experience of men too young to be called up for WW2 but whose lives were interrupted, disrupted, improved, not improved, by National Service. |

I went to RAF Khormaksar School 1963/64. My father served at RAF Khormaksar as an armourer. He was known as Bill Bailey and was a Warrant Officer at the time. I used to enjoy looking at the Hunters and remember seeing the \'gun packs\' being rearmed. I served in the Australian Regular Army. |

Going through some of Dad\'s old photo\'s and there are some of the lads he served with. Was trying to trace some of the others on the photos (or their descendants) to see if they wanted copies of the photos. Dad has made it hard work though as the names on the back are first names or nicknames (eg Hatto, Sween, Dia). The only full name I have is Johny Hiscocks, on the back of a photo of him and Dad having a beer on board the Nevassa as they depart Aden. Unfortunately I can\'t get more details as Dad passed away a couple of years ago. |

My dad, Russ Scarlett (22242816) served in Aden in the mid-sixties. My mum is moving house and gave me some photos of my dad in Aden which I\'d not seen before, as well as a group phot of 927 M.T. Company, RASC (TA). (I can\'t actually see my dad in the photo but can\'t imagine why she\'d have it if he\'s not there.) I tried to do a bit of research and came up with the Aden Vets website. My dad died in 1992 so he\'s not around to ask. Thanks. |

Most of Aden veterans must be in their 70s by now. I have noticed that on Remembrance Sunday when a list of post WW11 conflicts are mentioned in church or cathedrals, Aden is never mentioned. This really annoys me as we seem to be forgotten. |
