I didn't know David Tweed. My CO - I imagine just prior to him - was Lt. Col. Gray known as 'Dolly Gray'. Sharl-Rogers was the adjutant. By the time Suez erupted I was on Reserve and despite my pleadings that to ensure success the MoD (War Office?) needed my contribution I was refused.
I did tho' have a hand in the Cyprus insurgency and dodged a few angry grenades ! I'm told that more British personnel were killed in the Cyprus conflict than in Afghanistan. If such is the case it makes one wonder why so little appears to be known about the Cyprus conflict by the public..
