Comments: I was lucky enough to have the then Capt Angus Duddy RCE as one

of my Instructing Officers at Mons Officer cadet School,

Aldershot UK in 1957/1958. His humour in particular made tiring

days of training bearable. I remember that at some point I was

told that his Royal Canadian Engineer Troop had been involved in

a mine explosion in Korea but I cannot be certain over this. As

he would always state at breaktimes - you boys go and get your

Hershey Bars !!







A great guy.

Comments: My uncle Sherman passed away 7/27/1988. He was Sapper
with the RCE's in the Korean War. A life long member of
the Dieppe Branch in Waverley, Nova Scotia.

I would be much obliged if anyone had any info on this
soldier. I would be deeply grateful. He's my Mom's
older brother, and Mom is all that is left now on that
side of the family of that generation.

Time holds for no one.

Thank you in advance....

Mike

Comments: I WONDER IF ANY OF THE CANADIAN ENGINEERS WHO SERVED IN
KOREA WITH THE PLANT TROOP REMEMBER ME, CPL BOB JAGO RE. AS
ALWAYS WE REMEMBER ONLY THE BEST OF TIMES, AND WE SHARED
SOME GOOD ONES. MEN I PARTICULARLY REMEMBER ARE CPL BOB
NOLAN (OR WAS IT DOLAN?), CPL. 'GIGABOO' PETRIE, AND SPR. 'KIT'
CARSON.

I SHOULD BE HAPPY TO HEAR FROM ANY ONE WHO WAS THERE, AND
SEND MY VERY BEST WISHES TO ALL THOSE WHO WERE. TODAY IS MY
76TH BIRTHDAY - IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT ALL THOSE VIVID
MEMORIES ARE BETWEEN 55 AND 57 YEARS OLD! WHAT A STURDY
BUNCH WE WERE. WHO REMEMBERS THE ICE COLD ASHAI BEER AND
GREAT SING-SONGS IN THE MESS TENT?
