The Corps of Royal Electrical And Mechanical Engineers
5 medium Workshop, REME In 1950 I was the Adjutant at 3 Central workshop Bordon in Hanpshire. When the korean war started in June 50 I was posted at 24 hrs notice to 27 Command workshop REME at Sutton Veney in Wiltshire. This was in july or there abouts. On arrival I was told I was in fact joining a new unit to be formed ...5 Medium workshop. 5 medium workshop was formed over the next few hectic weeks with a small number of regular oficers and NCO and then over two hundred reservists. The officers were.. Major Desmond Gadsby ( OC ). Myself as Admin Oficer. Capt Jack Watson. Captain Dennis, Captain "Chuck " Hesketh, Lt Ian Brandon.
Having formed up the unit sailed from southampton in September on the Empire Fowey and arrived PUSAN 4th November 1950. The second ship from UK.
The main contingent on the Fowey was the 8th Hussars. 5 medium moved to a school in Taegu. It's vehicles and equipment arrived soon after. One Staff sgt was killed in the workshop within a few days and Capt Hesketh ( the only reserve officer ) was also killed and is buried in Yokohama.
When our equipment arrived in 1950 we formed a large LAD which I took North to catch up with the Brigade and render assisitance as possible. Near Suwon in early 51 I joined up with the main unts of 29bde and met a unit 29 Independant Infantry brigade Group Support Troops Lad. Commanded as an independant unit by Capt Gordon Ewing. ( retired as Colonel and now deceased. ) When the Chinese counterattacked in 51 5 medium was withdrawn to Pusan and then evacuated to Kure In Japan where they set up and did great work supporting the force in Korea. I did not go to Japan but joined 10 Infantry workshop REME which was commanded by Major JC Smith. Captain Ewing also joined 10 Inf at this time. Major smith was relieved by Major Rogers. Other officers in 10 Inf at that time were Captain " Dixie " Dean, and lt Tony Cribb the Tels oficer. Major Gadsby became very ill soon after our arrival in Taegu and was casevacted to Uk. I cannot be too sure but I believe a new OC arrived from Uk in time to take 5 Med to Kure and his name I regret I cannot recall. later in 51 I moved to 29Bde HQ were Captain Vic snow was the BEME. I took over the Bde lad at the HQ until leaving for Uk in April 52. I have written an account of my time in Korea and this was published in two isues of the REME corps magazine. I think your references to Captain Keech must be after our time there as I know he was not in 29 Bde during my time. Or possibly he was with 27bde. The two brigades did not serve near each other so I would not know.
23rd Heavy Recovery Section (29 Brigade), R.E.M.E. Based at both Inchon and Seol. I believe i/c was Captain Snow in charge of approx 50 men. This unit arrived in Pusan from Liverpool aboard The Empress of Australia, this being the flag ship from U.K. and the first to arrive from U.K. Thanks to Alexander J.Ferguson for this entry.
23 Heavy Recovery Unit was formed under the command of Captain Neil Prior who remained in command until early 1952.
