Cyprus '55/56 in 1955
written by Les Osborne
 Serving with 'A'Troop 45 Cdo in Cyprus during the Eoka campaign was the most memorable time during my 13 yrs as a Bootneck. Other commissions were memorable, but I never served with such a greater bunch of 'lads' again. The guys in 'A' troop were just great to serve with and I often fondly recall the times we had, the patrols we went on, the fun we had living under canvas and my last weeks in Platres. I will always regret that I never went to Suez with them. Of those who are still with us, I would love to hear from any of them.
God Bless you all

Les Osborne Of the ships I served on, I enjoyed HMS Ceylon the most. The ship and her company were truly '220' [second-to-none]. Pity Our Sgt Maj [known as 'knuckles']wasn'yt one of the best but in all, we had a great time.
Any shipmates reading this, do get in touch, would love to hear from you. |

There is nothing worse than breaking down. But if you do, the RAC have more than 1,500 patrols ready to rescue you, whether you are at the shops or on the motorway. They will always try to fix your vehicle at the roadside, but if they cant they will make getting it repaired as painless as possible.
