Comments: My dad recently passed away but before he did, we started putting pen to paper about his life. He was called up for National Service so I'd like to hear from anyone who served from 1952 onwards in Korea, Adan, Egypt & Sudan. You don't need to have known him but he told us so many stories about that time I'd like to hear from anyone that was there.

Comments: Hi there, my father who is still with us was in the royal fusiliers city of London. He made the rank of corporal during his national service. His name is Maurice Arthur Williams known as mo for short originally from stoke newington. let me know if anyone out there remembers him. He has told me many stories about his time in Korea. A few years back he sold his medals to a dealer in Hayes middx I believe as he needed the cash. I only found out recently and am so upset about it as he must have needed the money to part with them. If anyone out there has them as a collector and is willing to sell them to me then please get in touch. they are the UN and the service medals. Thanks so much regards Karen
