searching for a soldier

In 1965 I met a young soldier at Gatwick Airport. He was leaving for Aden. We had a few hours to spare and so we talked. We corresponded for some months but by letters were intercepted by my parents. The last one that I received was when I was in the hospital with a bone tumour in my leg. In his letter he told me that he had been wounded in the leg. My parents would not allow me to correspond further as I was 17 years of age. I only know that he was stationed near London and that his name is Tony and he was wounded in 1966. Any help in finding Tony would be greatly appreciated. I have thought about him throughout the years and wondered how his life continued. My dad was in the military at the time when I met Tony.

Sincerely

Anne (Cuthbert) Kelly

Hello
I\'m trying to find information on my dad,he died three years ago.He was a rifleman in raf regiment in Aden in (I think) the early 1950\'s.
He was 18-19 years old and was born 03.03.1933.
All I have is his regiment badge which shows two crossed rifles and says 55 squadron Royal Air Force regiment.If anyone could give me any info or pointers I would be grateful,thank you so much.
I\'m confused because every time I try and find info the only badge is one arm holding a spear.
His name was Dennis Leslie Thomas Holman ,always known as Den unless he was in trouble !,I have photos but no other info,other than he lost his best mate out there whose name was Jonah,I only add that because it\'s an unusual name.Thank you x
