John Birk`s son , David, e-mailed me on March 15th with the sad news that his father John had passed away the day previous. David was seeking help to find out if anyone familiar with this website remembered his dad who hailed from Stoke-on Trent and was a Junior Technician at 107 MU sometime between 1954 and 1955, 15 months in all in the Canal Zone.


John enjoyed his sports at Kasfareet and had even won a cricket medal like Alwyn York.


Jack Garry is presently trying to determine where most of the pictures were taken, both on and off the camp.


If anyone remembers John, kindly place a message on MY FORUM. it`s dead easy....thanks Alwyn
