OTHERS

Other Units played their part in the Op Crown story. The RCS, RCT as they were to become and surprisingly the RA. Terry Crimmons was in the Royal Artillery and was involved in the incident shown in the photos, this is how he recalls the events of that day. "I was in that incident attached at the time to the RCT as they became whilst we were there. The Scammel we were in was about two vehicles behind on route to Ubon. I will always remember the local people coming along with sweet potatoes and water etc even though we had effectively shut their only road down!! I remembered another little thing from the Op. A Scots Engineer and myself got a little group going and we actually broadcast on 'Op Crowns' own radio station, we played a few Beatles numbers!! Do you remember that? There were about 5 or 6 of us Gunners there at that time, all driving." Regards, Terry

The Medics were busy people, the picture right shows one of the many dramas they were involved in. Any Op Crown medics Aussie or Brit with stories to tell please use the contacts page and pass on your memories.
