It's been said that seventeen different cap badges were worn by the service personnel working on Op Crown. ACC RA RAE RAF RAOC RAMC RCS RCT RE REME RNZE. That's only eleven, help us to complete the list by getting in touch and passing on your info. We think we know from Hank Lawrence and John Barnett when the first Sappers in numbers arrived at KokTalat. We know from Mick Norton how the last Engineers left. However the siting of the airfield and camp was not accidental. Obviously someone (cont. below)

chose the site, which meant it had to be surveyed etc etc. If you can go further back in time than Hank and John, we would be very interested to hear from you. Help us to develop the content of this site with as many Op Crown, Post Crown people as we can reach.
