whitehorses Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Hi, Was anyone in the RAOC and was posted to Tel El Kebir in Egypt from 1951 to 1953, national service in the Suez Zone? My late Dad was there and just wondered if anyone else was still around who went there. My Dad did his training at Deepcut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I knew a guy who was in the R.A.O.C at 'Tek' in the years mentioned. His name was Jack Hanson, lived up somewhere near the five arches I think. Later became fondly known as 'Idle Jack', because he won a lot of money on the pools.
