Hi Tony
Well, at last I made contact with someone. This is great. Been trying over the past 8 yrs.
Glad to learn your dear Dad is with us and well.
I shall contact you direct. Briefly, before I worked at the Orderly Room Tal Handaq I was a Page Boy at the Officers Mess Kalafrana. That is where I knew your Dad. He was a nice looking man, and fairly tall.
I only worked as a Page Boy for about 8 months. Flt Lt Shone of Sth Rhodesia took me to work in his Office at Tal Handaq. I remember him very well. I'm sure your Dad would remember the 2 Page Boys at the Mess.
One of his mates was Sqd. Leader Grimshaw who wore an Aussie uniform. It was him who helped me get the job at Tal Handaq. I have been trying to make contact with Mr Grimshaw's family, but I do not know his first name. Maybe you Dad can remember. I think / just guessing that Mr Grimshaw was an Englishman and happened to join the RAAF in Aust c1941. Just my thinking. From memory, I think Mr Grimshaw was a bit older then your Dad
I shall send you a list of all the Officers that I still remember.
Say Hello to your Dad and ask him if he has any pics of those days.
