Hi, I didn't get any responses to my first Blog. I'm going to add a second bit today.

These Gentlemen are members of the first course that I undertook in 1949. They were all very senior NCOs. Standing behind them are the Cadre at that time. The Cadre were made up of officers and NCOs both from the Turkish Signal Corps and the Royal Corps of Signals.

I'm so sorry, but I cannot remember many of the names of the people there, except perhaps a few of the back row. Capt. (Yuzbashi) Shenkartal (Excuse the spelling.), Capt Ozel (?) (Yuzbashi), Major Smith, Major (Binbashi) Ishener, Myself, Orhan Hataysal (My Mentor), Capt Akkurt. At each end were my helpers whose names I have forgotten.
