The
following photographs were amongst John's collection. They were photo copies he received from the
R.E.M.E. Museum. The originals were received from Thein Zan 52B who appears in the lead photo. No more names were available but we have
since been able to add a fair number.
This version shows the condition of the photos, as received, and gives
some indication of what can be achieved by painstaking restoration. There are more awaiting treatment and they
will be added to the album as and when they are ready.

The
pipe band, led by Pipe Major Batt giving a display. Charles Elsey 53A, Pictorial Archivist at the REME
Museum places the display at Aldershot in the Summer of 1955.

The following four photos
appear to be all of the same parade, thought to be the Summer of 1955. With an officer on parade, in this case
Major Hendricks MC, the Cameronians and OC of B
Company, and with the 6 Div carrying rifles
whilst still wearing Service Dress, it is probably the Queen's Birthday
parade for that year. Confirmation
or otherwise would be appreciated.
