My Uncle Eddie Hughes was also in those parts during WWII. It may have been Palestine, but he was in the RAF too, so may have been posted to different camps. Anyway, when he and his good lady got married after the War, my Aunt wanted a honeymoon in Blackpool because she hadn't been to the seaside since before the War started. I think my Uncle said something along the lines of "I'm heartily sick of looking at miles of sand!"
