GUEST,Mike Alcock Lyr Req: McAlpine's Fusiliers (57* d) RE: Lyr Req: McAlpine's Fusiliers 19 Dec 12


I also worked on Kenana 1976/7 I think - setting out engineer on the roads and canals. I also sang in a group and we sang this song with yet another variant verse which I can't remember although it definitely referenced Pat Mee and Rod Palmer. There were 5 of us: Jim Hunter, and 3 others including one of the wives - memory is shot to pieces. Would love to hear from anybody who worked there and who picks up this thread. I shared a Lesser with a concrete ganger Jo Billet - you may not remember him but the ladies will and not just the company wives! He retired to Spain where I visited him a few years ago where he had set up a cat's home!

Mike
