    I worked on Ascension as a Superintendent for Speegle and worked on the Barracks 13 Remodel and had a bunch of idiots working on other projects like wastewater treatment plant and the fuel dump with the rusted fuel lines..!
    Anyway, they puffed me off and I took off on the RMS and went and spent a wonderful month on the island with Jason Mercury's and his Granny! I also met Keddle and Danny next door!
    I had a wonderful month there and would like to send my kind regards to all of those who my remember Gary Campbell from Speegle!
    A wonderful decision to bail on Speegle and come visit you.
    I remember me and Neville Hearn used to catch crabs on Ascension and take the claws to the Governor's house!
    A memorable part of my life!
    Thank you again, St. Helena!

      I'm ENGLISH but do I need a passport to enter your country with it being a BRITISH OVERSEAS TERRITORY but your very lucky to have been born there away from this hellhole the UK? But could i just fly over there and buy a house and stay for good or is there the same beaurocracy like we have in the UK? But what are the real estate prices of houses over there are they very expensive if you don't mind me asking that is?? Thank you..😊👍

    It's incredible to know that I have St Helenian blood flowing through my veins.
    As a Seale who didn't know much, other than that my family came from St Helena, I feel incredibly fortunate to have grown up knowing part of where I come from.

    This Island was used during the Anglo Boer War of 1899 to 1902 of England against South African Boers as a prisoner of war deportation camp.

    • @garycampbell4824
      @garycampbell4824 Год назад +1

      When I spent a month there, I used to hike around the island and would nap sometimes at the Boer cemetery!
      I'd also go down and visit Napolean's grave on my walks...
      Perfect place to have a puff...me and Nappie, sorta!

    the 3 bahraini prisoners were not princes, they were oppositions to the british forces on the island. they were: mr. abdul aziz shamlan, mr. abd ali alaiwat, and mr. al bakir. ultimately the british courts ordered their release because of unlawful arrest. they spent 4 and a half years in st. helena prisons.
