SUEZ CANEL MEDAL in 1951
written by steve bresloff
 AS A FAIRLY NEW MEMBER MAY I SAY HOW MUCH I ENJOY THE SITE,I FOUND THE NEWS
LETTER INTRESTING ESPECIALLY THE SUEZ
ITEM,AS I AM ONE OF THOSE VETS, I SPENT FROM EARLY 1951 TO LATE 55 THERE,AND THEN WENT BACK WITH 3 BDE FOR THE CRISIS,
,I LIKE TO THINK THAT THOSE YEARS FORMED
MY LOVE FOR THE ARMY AND SO I COMPLETED
FORTY YEARS IN UNIFORM AND THEN A FURTHER TEN YEARS AS AN RO.
YES AT TIMES IT WAS ROUGH,MEN DIED,BUT
AT AT THE AGE OF SEVENTEEN AND HALF YOU
LIVED FOR TOMORROW, YOU MADE YOUR ENTERTAINMENT, MADE LIFE LONG FRIENDS
AND AS YOU KNOW WELL ONLY REMEMBER THEGOOD TIMES LIKE WHEN MY OC BROUGHT US
BACK FROM THE SINIA DERSET AND SAID TO
THE SSM"SGT MAJOR ,AT ONE TIME I WAS LOST" "DONT WORRY SIR" WAS THE REPLY
"MOSES WAS LOST OUT THERE FOR FORTY YEARS AND HE FOUND HIS WAY HOME".
THE NIGHT THE KING ABDICATED I WAS THE COS DRIVER IN A DINGO AND HE SAT RAISED ABOVE ME BEATING ME ON THE HEAD
WITH HIS LOADED PISTOL SAYING"FASTER BOY FASTER".YES I LOVED THOSE YEARS,
I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW THOSE EXCELLENT
NS MEN WANTED TO GO HOME,I WAS A REGULAR,PLUS I WAS AN EX BOY AND VERY
PROUD OF IT.
2 I WILL LEAVE IT TO THOSE EXCELLENT INFANTRY SOLIDERS WHO GUARDED THE
MANY OUTPOSTS SO WELL TO TELL THEIR
STORIES,THE HISTORY BOOKS HAVE IT ALL
(THEY THINK), YES WE DESERVE THIS COMING MEDAL BUT I ONLY HOPE IT DOES NOT
TAKE FIFTY YEARS TO GET IT TO US AS WE
GET FEWER EACH YEAR.
THANK YOU,
MAJOR(RETD)RS BRESLOFF,MSM. |
