I AM in the process of tracing all ranks who served in Hong Kong with the 27th Heavy Ack-Ack Regiment, Royal Artillery, especially D Troop 23rd Gibraltar Battery, on Stonecutters Island 1951-54. I would like to make contact with any people living in the East Lancashire area.
The first reunion for the Far East lads will take place in September 2000. Contact has already been made with numbers Two and Three Gun and radar crews.
Please contact J Whittle of the Far East Veterans Association on 01257 401773.
