Terry F. Allchin

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."
