THREE years ago I appealed for National Service sappers in the area to get in touch with me about their experiences from 50 years ago.
The resulting book, "The Royal Engineers and the National Service Years, 1939-1963, A Military and Social History", has now been published.
However, I received so many photographs from the 140 contributors that I was unable to find room for all but a few of them. Now other purchasers of the book have supplemented the collection and I need to compile a companion volume of photos and documents.
At this stage I thought it would be a good idea to see if any other "retired" sappers out there would like to add their old black and white photos for posterity too.
If you would like to have them included, please get in touch.
