Regarding the quick burial of soldiers in Aden. Your posting about there not being enough refrigeration facilities is not correct. I was a Medical Orderly with 1st RHA and we had 8 members of our regiment killed in various actions. All bodies were flown or taken to Steamer Point Hospital and after being medically examined and documented, were stored in the Cold Store until the day of their funerals, and only then were they moved to Falaise Church for the burial services.

Hi again, Anthony
I can't remember where I read that bit about the lack of refrigerated mortuaries, but as you have had first hand experience of the situation, then it was obviously wrong, and I apologise for posting something that was incorrect.
Cheers
Vic
