    Recent arrival, a post war (1950's) regular army certificate of service book for Gordon Davies from Brecon who joined the Royal Welch Fusiliers but very quickly transferred to the 1st battalion the parachute regiment and saw service in the middle east with MELF. It shows him passing the para qualification in 1952 and that he became a L/cpl. Later he also served in the reserves with the paras. He was entitled to the General service medal - Middle East.

    Some interesting history from a member of the 3rd battalion who took part in the last combat para drop by British forces as part of the Suez crisis, whilst the 1st & 2nd battalions went in by ship to support them and L/cpl Davies was probably part of that force as he was in the area at that date and has the GS ME medal.
