Sapper Terry F. Allchin of No.1 Troop 60 Sqn Royal
Engineers was killed in Habilain
in June 1967. |

"I was one of
Terry's best mates, having first met at
Gillingham barracks when we were both on
support troop 1965 or 66. Before going to
Aden a couple of us, Mick Jones, Geordie Mckenzie and me, left some of our gear in
his married quarters.
He was a smashing lad
and I always remember him every June, the
month he was killed. Half of No.1 troop were
sent up to Dhala to build a water tank, (
the half I was in ) and he was killed while
we were up there. I can still remember Lt.
Freeman No. 1 Troop's officer coming up to
tell us. A few weeks later we were back and
working at the exact spot where it
happened."
