Frequently Asked Questions

I served in Burma and would like to contact some old Comrades - how do I do that?

The Association’s publication, DEKHO! carries an ‘Old Pals Corner’ where we can publish your details and ask anyone from your Regiment, Ship or Sqn to contact you. Please give as many details as possible and include your address and telephone number and an e-mail address for any replies.

(As the membership numbers dwindle not every request gets a reply but it is worth giving it a go.)
Photographs can also be included – if you want them returned then enclose a sae. If sending them by email please attach them as a .jpg and send them to Phil at Headquarters.

There is no charge for this but donations are accepted.

Regimental Associations and other ex-Service charities could also furnish information, see our links page.
