Brian Gibbs wrote in the Guest Book "I'm in the centre behind the mast, wearing a very wide rimmed hat. The two guys to my right (picture left) are Keith Greggor and Ian Cox. I think Carol is behind Keith. The guy on the extreme right of the photo is John (?) Tadman. I recognise the girl friend with him but not sure of her name - Andrea perhaps?"

Thanks to Mick Roberts for these three photos of himself.  Mick was in Singapore from 1967 to '69
