My Regiment :80 LAA REGT RA 1955 to 1957 We were part of a practice beach landing in the summer of 1955 and on arrival in Tripoli, near to the city we were despatched South into the desert and lived under canvas for a week or two before returning to St Andrews barracks in Malta GC.We had just de-greased our AA guns and military transport and were then ordered to re-grease ready for a “real” repeat landing in Tripoli, ready to drive on to Benghazi. Can’t remember the barracks title and would appreciateany information from those who CAN remember!!
