I am preparing a small book made up of photographs that I and a couple of squaddie mates took in Port Said during the 1956 Suez Crisis.

No doubt there were others who had their cameras with them at the time.

If anyone would like to have their photos included to ensure that these images – ships, blockships, aircraft, general views, troops, paratroop drops, etc –, are not lost to posterity, would they care to loan them to me briefly for scanning and enhancing, together with appropriate information?

I am the compiler of the book The Royal Engineers and the National Service Years.
