I arrived in Hong Kong by troopship Dunera from what was then Aden in roughy May 1960 as an RAPC corporal attached to “A” Company 1st battalion The Royal Warwickshire Regiment. As a National Serviceman I had to return to the UK by December 1960 for demob and was transferred to an Artillery Unit who where also returning. We embarked on the Troopship Oxfordshire for the ten week trip circa in October 1960

My battalion the Warwicks were based at Fanling Queens Barracks where regular patrols were conducted along the Chinese border

i remember a typhoon passing through in 1960

We took regular trips down by train to Kowloon during our short stay in the area

I would be interested to hear from anyone who knew of us in those days
