REUNION Visit Egypt Canal Zone April 26-May 9 2014 I organise visits to the Egyptian Canal Zone where I served in the 1950s along with thousands of other personnel. I know that many people who live in your circulation area were stationed there during the trouble times. Many of our service personnel died and are buried in the cemeteries we visit : Ismailia, Fayid, Moascar, Tel-el-kebir.
I will take photos of any friends or loved ones graves if any of your readers would like me to (complementary). If any of your readers would like to join us on our next group, I have a few places left – spouses are welcome.
We will be visiting Cairo and staying at a hotel in Ismailia overlooking Lake Timsa and visiting other places in the Canal Zone. I am limited to 30 places on this visit as it is still a Military Restricted area.
