As promised, I have now sorted out various photographs
and papers etc., from my time with SCLI. The enclosed mainly cover
our time in Aden, Norway and Canada.
In the Aden material I have enclosed the original pages
from two editions of the Cornish Guardian as these cover many individual
soldiers names.

These Beverleys were in the middle East in the 60's but
not necessarily in Aden during our time, but identical ones
were used to take SCLI personnel 'up country' and should
bring back memories for those involved.
