Comments
Ted Smeeden was O.C. 20 Field Park Squadron in 36 Army Engineer Regt. when I joined the regiment in April 1953 as a National service 2nd. Lt. in, I think, 24 Field Engineer Squadron. I was priviledged to attend his wedding service as a guest at Stocksfield, Northumberland, and formed part of his guard of honour. He was a fine officer, as far as I was concerned, and very much liked by all ranks.
Please supply the year that Lt Col Smeeden died. William Cowie writes [13th November 2011]:
