In 1945 I was shipped to India to join my unit, who were being re enforced after great losses in Burma, then came the atom bomb and everything changed, for the beter I guess, because I am here today.With the ceasation of the war, we were back to regular army training, and then came the trouble with Ghandi etc, and rioting began between the different religious sects, and our duties changed to trying to prevent this awful blood letting period.The worst of which happened in Calcutta in 1946, to which we were shipped. When this finally stopped we went back to our barracks in Rawalpindi, where we remained, still doing riot duties until Britain gave India her independance in 1947.My regiment was the first British army unit withdrawn from India and returned to England on the Georgic in August 1947. We were split up in England between Bardney in Lincolnshire, and Hull in Yorkshire until our demob the following spring. Soon after, our Regiment was disbanded, and merged with the Royal Anglian Regiment.The purpose of this letter is to try and find some of our old buddies. About 25 of us have met, and hold a reunion in London U.K. in august each year.I was able to attend two years ago, and I can not express my feelings at meeting those guys after so many years, if there are any more of you out there, please contact me for details, my email address is cameron@eagle.ca Thankyou Jim Cameron.
