I had a telephone call from Steve Blanchard, he helps
out at the Queens Surrey's Museum in Clandon Park.
They have acquired the South Arabia GSM for for Pte JA
Roberts inscribed with his name, rank, no and The
Queens Surrey's but they have no service history on
him.
I have a similar medal from my own service with 1 Royal
Sussex in Aden in 1965, I was a TAVR soldier from 3
Queens Surrey's.
Does anyone remember him, was he seconded from the
regular battalion of Queens Surrey's to 1 Royal Sussex
or was he a TAVR soldier on call up.
I do not remember him in C Coy 1RS in Aden but it was a
long time ago....
If anyone has any info please contact me and I will
forward Steve's contact number or pass the information
on.
Many thanks
