As "Y" Company clerk in Aden I did not have to leave waterloo lines at any time, however to me I was a soldier first so I spent many a day on patrol with various sections in "Y" Company, much to the annoyance of other members of company HQ who thought my actions would make it neccessary for them to go out on patrol too, however my CSM WO11 P Hoare assured me that this would not be the case, and on several occasions refused me permision to go out to, because of some imenent threat.
i'd like to thank you for keeping the memory of those killed alive in your artical, many thanks.
