Palestine 1947-48

Gaza - Haifa - Jerusalem

 
I am a bit short on photographs from this period and I hope that some of you Micks had better success with your Box Brownies than I did. Please look now in your spare rooms and your attics and send me some snapshots of:  Khassa 4A Camp at Gaza,  Athlit Camp near Haifa,  and Mount Scopus Camp in Jerusalem. Who remembers the transit camp and the "Out of Bounds" Bars in El-Quassasin, Egypt.

Here are a few snaps from my tattered old Album:
Scribbled notes on the back of these snaps mention the names: CSM Stuart, on the ranges,
 and Mr Talbot-Wilcox with the Brigadier in 'No Man's Land'.  
Sgt. Scott, Cpl. Lambert, Gdsn. Norton and Gdsn. Ferguson.
 God Bless Them All !

My Memories of Gaza 1947


Got any fags Mister ?


Have you seen my daughter ?


I'm over here Dad !


Just pretend you didn't see them !
I think they're bloody foreigners.


Where in the .... are we ?
Anyone got a mobile ?


It's no good asking us . . . 
We're lost too !


It must be here somewhere !


Meanwhile, back at camp !


I wonder where those Officers are ?


I've looked everywhere !
Honest  . . .


Perhaps they've gone AWOL


Here they come now !


     Welcome back to . .
   Khassa 4A Camp,  Sirs !

 Come on Lads, I need your pictures and memories.


"Tempus is Fugiting", do it for your Grandchildren , scan those photos as JPG images and E-mail me them to me now.
