I am searching for
Robert Lea (born July 31 1918) for a friend. He was in the RAOC
at Dunkirk, North Africa and Northern Italy. I think he stayed in
the service and became a Major after the war. |

I am looking for
anyone who knew my uncle, Gordon Orr, originally from Calgary,
Alberta. He served with the Cdn. Army Medical Corp during WWII.
He remained in the Army Medical Corp serving on bases in Ontario
following WWII. He passed away while reading in his army bed at
an army base in Ontario in the mid-1950's when he was only in his
forties. I would like to converse with anyone who has any records
or may have known of him. Thank you |

A biography exists
which includes a picture of some fitters working on a Lancaster.
One of those fitters is 1873430 FC Money. Trying to find title /
author of book to get picture. The book covered a chap who served
in RAF 1924 to 1946 initially flying Wapati Biplanes. Any ideas
greatly received. |

Hi all, I need some
help trying to identify some places/pictures of the campaign in
North Africa during WW2. Maybe someone's Dad or Granddad has
pictures in their own personal album that are of the same places.
These pictures can be viewed on my website. Also I would like to
try and trace any surviving members of 662 Armoured Troops
Workshop REME as I have recently interviewed a veteran from this
unit and would like to do something for him in return. He saw
service in Dunkirk, Algeria landings with 78th Battleaxe Div the
race for Tunis, Sicily, Italy and finally Austria. Anyone with any
information I would love to hear from you. |

I am looking to
contact any of my late fathers comrades. Charles Nicholls (my
father) served in the 13th/18th Royal Hussars in the 50's and
60's. Sadly he died in the early 80's and I now realise that I
know almost nothing about his army career. I would love to be able
to tell my two young boys about their grandfather. If anyone
served with him, or is able to help in any way I would love to
hear from you. |
