Jan 24th 2016.....Jason Carter recently posted a message on our Forum Page with the news that his father Peter, an old KASMAN, had recently passed away. He was a cook there in 53/54 time. H originally hailed from Luton and left behind an album of pictures from his days in Egypt. Jason was happy to share these memories on our website but in particular would like to hear from anyone who knew his father from those times. Please use the forum page for replies.
