Porton Down Veterans

Hi Ian,
I wish you luck, as you say many volunteered. I served in the RAF 1957 - 1980. Often in Station Routine Orders there was an insertion asking for volunteers to go to Porton Down for 'research into the common cold.' It would seem that this was not the case, they were allegedly exposed to nasties such as mustard gas, sarin and tabun, some becoming rather ill afterwards. Many of us were not so naive as to fall for this, but some did because I seem to remember there was some kind of 'reward' an extra weeks leave possibly. Some former personnel did try some time ago to prosecute MoD but I believe insufficient evidence and hearsay meant that they did not succeed. I seem to remember that Wiltshire Police who were handling part of this asked if anyone had kept a copy of SROs with the paragraph asking for volunteers included. But I don't think that there was any response, SROs were not exactly collectable items, many didn't even bother to read them despite those in charge stating it was a hanging offence not to do so. I won't say that you're flogging a dead horse, but the majority of those involved will be a bit long in the tooth by now and not have much interest in joining your association, but I would love to be proven wrong. Following many years of campaigning, the nuclear veterans have at last got their gong, and not to long ago, the same for veterans of the Suez campaign.

Warhorse At the start of W W 1 it seems The Strategy of Warfare had changed No longer was the Horse mounted Cavalry The best defence that could be arranged But the horse was now essential In many a various role For movement of men and equipment But the enemy machine guns took a heavy toll They were used by the Artillery Pulling Guns and Ammunition Moving troops and Ambulances For the injured and men in serious condition The use of Horses was paramount As they countered the weather rain and mud Where motorised and tracked vehicles Were seldom suitable or any good But their losses were heavy Through gunfire and lack of care Fodder was insufficient For all the animals to have enough to share Apart from all heavy horses there were Mules and Donkeys too With heavy packs upon their backs to keep supplies coming through Through lack of food and injuries Many Animals fell and died And the rotting carcases spread disease To the troops who passed by their side Looking back it’s hard to imagine What World War 1 had cost 8 Million Horses Mules and Donkeys And 900,000 Military men’s lives were lost Dennis Shrubshall 27th October 2019

HI, go to your mailbox and check on "sent " it will show if it has been sent or not, they should show there and not in a forum page.

HI JIM BUCKLEY AGAIN DOES ANYONE REMEMBER ME ON THE HAPPY HERMS I WAS ON 68 - 69. I WAS ON VICTORIOUS UNTIL SHE BURNED DOWN THEN GOT SHIPPED OVER TO THE HERMES. REGARDS JIM BUCKLEY. EX GREENIE.
Hi Jim, i was on both Victorious and then (due to fire) was temp drafted to (Centaur?) followed by a draft to "Happy H". The fire was, allegedly, caused by an unknown serving crew member (arsonist?) At the time, although a stoker,on joining the Hermes, I was given a blue card job as one of the senior rates mess-men. It was with great sadness that my boss (a CPO) was trapped in his mess and died as a direct result of that fire. R.I.P You may remember that the fire was started on a friday night / saturday morning and most of the crew were on w/end leave....there is an awful lot more i could add...but not on a forum
