Thanks Khyber the only reason I ask is that you say you have a number of medals to the unit. Do you know anything about the unit?

Just looking through Westlake.....of an evening as you do, and spotted a hand written note by me in the Royal Engineers section " MES Military Engineers Service Middle East and India" I have no recollection of writing it or where the info came.
