Kure British Commonwealth Hospital Japan

Recently, and quite by accident I came across a website, the likes of which I gad not seen before. It is essentially about the memories of British National Servicemen in Japan between 1950 and 1956.
The site address is http://www.kurememories.com/

The site was set up by and is maintained by David Oates. David trained as an Operating Theatre Technician in TidworthMilitary Hospital. The site contains some very personal memories of times spent in Kure.

I wholeheartedly recommend that you visit the site and spend some time reading the accounts posted there.

Thank you David for sharing your memories, and of course my thanks go to the colleagues who also contributed.

Kure today is a busy and important city in the Hiroshima Province and is famous amongst other things for being where Japans largest ever battleship, the Yamato.
