Hello all. I am trying
(covertly) to trace friends and old comrades of Derek Taylor who
served in Egypt as an Armourer Sgt / SSgt REME. Derek is a close
neighbour and a good friend and I would like to surprise him with
some contacts (but no unexpected surprises!). Derek recently
received his GSM Suez, he was a National Serviceman who signed on
for (I believe) - 5 years). Any clues gratefully followed up. All
the best, Charles. |

Please contact me
regarding tours of duty in Germany, Palestine, Egypt, Cyprus at

me to respond. I was a Lance Corporal when I left the army. I was
trained for the Royal Artillery, (25 pounder), Signals,
Parachuting (Red Devils), Driving 3 ton lorries. I was famous for
shooting an incinerator chimney stack one dark night on guard duty
in the middle east mistaking it for an intruder who would not
reply to who goes there. I was put on jankers for it for a week.
Left the army in 1952 to work in Engineering. The e mail address

REME |
| Message: |
I am trying to find
out more about my granddad. His name was Captain Michael James
Kelly and he was in REME. He was also a boxer and keen amateur
photographer and I have a photo of him in a boxing team in
Singapore, August 1951? He was also in Germany. I know he is
buried in Aldershot as he was killed accidentally by another
soldier during some kind of target practice. He was 37 when he was
killed and had a wife Catherine and a daughter Patricia Anne and a
son Michael. I would love to hear from anyone who remembers him.
Would also love to hear any boxing stories and see any photos
there may be of him. Also could anyone accurately recall the
circumstances of his tragic death as I only have a vague outline.
I know it's a long shot as he was killed in 1967 and I want to
thank you for taking the time to read my message. |
