Comments: My Dad served in the R.A.M.C.,from 1939-1945.He was captured at Dunkirk and was a P.O.W. untill he was repatriated in 1943 after being held at STALAG XXA in Thorn Poland Sadly he died in 1982, but without the likes of him and his compatriots we would now be in a vry sorry state. I salute him and everyone who lived and served during those bleak years.Thankyou so much.

Comments: I am the project co-ordinator for The Bath Blitz Memorial Project. My Grandfather James William Orton, was killed in action with the 6th Airborne on june 13th 1944. He is buried in Ranville Cemetery, France. My Father served with the Royal Marine Commandoes, and had a terrible life until he died some years ago. The Bath Blitz Memorial Project is a tribute to many of those civillians who sufferred as the result of losing loved ones and friends, as well as those who's lives were shattered by the 3 nights of the bombing of the city in April 1942 and for the civillian casualties who are not mentioned or thought about. 66,000 British and Commonwealth civilians lost their lives during the Second World War. The council should have had a memorial by now for the 417 people who were killed and the 425 who were injured in the city of Bath. Please give us your support.

Mr Flamers, Senior, , Comments: I was extremely pleased when I found the RAF-Habbaniya web site by accident. My father, Mr. Flamers, served with The British Forces at RAF-Habbaniya Station until it was taken over by the Iraqi Armed Forces in 1958. I have some photographs in my possession of my father and will send them to you at a later stage. Flying has been my passion since the early days of my childhood since I was born and then grew up on the RAF-Habbaniya Base. My father used to take me with him to the airfield where he worked and where I watched British Aircraft in action. This has finally led to realizing my dream of getting my wings and PPL. I will be in touch again to provide you with enough information as well as photographs of my father and the RAF-Habbaniya Station. Thank you for founding the RAF-Habbaniya Association.

no, Comments: What an interesting site, my father served at Habbaniya during the battle. He was in the RAF Rgt and patrolled the oil pipe lines in old RR armoured cars. I have never seen any mention of this role of the RAF mentioned in detail. Dad died many years ago and was quietly proud that he "Did his Bit" during the war, though he never went into great detail of his service years. Any Info about this side of the RAF role would be appreciated, even just a starting point would be useful. 60 years on and I'm just starting to learn about Habbaniya, and the battle that was fought...and Won there. Yours faithfully, R Cotton

Comments: Brilliant website! My dad served with the Somerset Light Infantry during WWII starting in France (D+10), then going through Belgium, Holland and finally being wounded at Geilenkirchen, Germany in November 1944. He is sadly no longer with us, but I would be delighted if anyone out there served with him. He was in the 7th Battalion, B company - his name was Bob Newman, a Private, and his nickname was "SCHUBERT", cos he loved classical music!!

Yes, England - Father was a Canadian
Comments: My father Paul Beebe was a Canadian Army medic (4th Field Ambulance) taken prisioner in Italy while retrieving their wounded. He has recently started to share some of the memories while he was a POW at Stalag 7A Mooseburg, German. He also recalls volunteering for a mission in which 83 emaciated French Women were taken from Matthausen and driven through Switzerland and turned over to the French. He didn't weigh much more than 100 lbs. at the time, he carried one woman to the water pump and he didn't think she weighed half of his weight. He wonders if any of these women survived the horrors of Matthausen and were able to make any kind of life for themselves.

Also I put a photo of my father on your site asking if anyone knew Wilfred Jones 1922 born and if anyone knew the badge he was wearing. I am really grateful to everyone who wrote to me telling me it was the Royal Artillary and I have had this confirmed. My website now has a small tribute and some photo's included on it at www.matra.org.uk if anyone would like to take a look and they can also send me photo's or memories. I am paticularly looking for information of soldiars from Bangor,N.Wales area we lost 220 from Bangor during the WW2. Also any POW story's I understand we had an Italian POW camp in Bangor but would like more information if possible. Many thanks keep up the good work I shall be back and will be adding a link to your site if you agree once I am finally organised.

Comments: This is good and valuable work that you're doing--saving the history of ordinary heros who served in WW II--right along with Tom Brokaw. I have had the priviledge of recording the stories of about 55 WW II veterans in a project called "Remembering WW II. In it the men and women who served in WW II tell of their training, their experiences and the lifelong impact the war had on their lives. Each was marked forever in some way. Sixteen million Americans served in the armed forces at a time in their lives when they should have been enjoying the happy pursuits of youth and learning the lessons of work and life and love. But, instead they fought across the bloodied landscape of France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Africa and the coral islands of the South Pacific. How can we ever repay such sacrific? Impossible! Thank You Veterans of WWII with deepest respect and gratitude. Shirley Harris

Comments: This is a wonderful site and I agree that the memories of this brave generation should be recorded. They gave the best of their youth, and so many gave their lives, for the generations to come. My late father was a pilot from 1938 until 1946, with over 6902 hours of flying. He was with many squadrons two of which I know. 77 squadron at Elvington and Full Sutton, 187 squadron at Membury. I am awaiting his service records so that I can piece together his life during the war. He received the D.F.C in 1945 which have. I also believe that he received other medals namely the DFM, but until the records arrive I cannot say for sure. I will be posting some photos for inclusion on this site. If anyone knew my father, or even has information about 77 and 187 squadrons I would be very grateful. His name was Victor R Brown not sure if he was a F/O or F/Lt.

Comments: I was not born until 17 years after World War Two ended, but as a lad growing up in the nearby village of Balsall Common, I used to ride my bicycle frequently to the edge of Honiley airfield. Nothing to see but a couple of strafing shelters from the direction I came. After 20 years living in the USA I still remember the peculiar almost mystical qualities of riding up to the airfield in the pre-dawn glow of an autumn morning, and wondering what men had served there? What aircraft had once graced it's then overgrown runway? A child's lonely fascination has turned into a fond rememberance of a better time, and certainly a better land. For whatever it may be worth, Craig A. Dickens

Comments: Hi, great site. Im just writing on behalf of my grandad and great uncle who are no longer alive, they both fought in the second world war. My grandad John (Jack) Thwaite was in The Border Regiment. He landed in the assualt wave on "Gold Beach" on D-Day June 6th 1944, and my dad has told me about the terrible things he saw when they hit the beach that morning. He landed with 231 Inf Bde. He also fought in Caen and finally in Belgium where he was wounded while firing his Bren, he had been hit by either a German Morter or Grenade, he went deaf in one ear and was virtually parralised on one side, but he still held his ground and managed to lay fire down on the advancing Germans. He was then sent home of wounds. My great uncle Leuitenant Tom Tarmey also landed on D-Day, leading his men of the landing craft onto "Sword Beach". He landed with the Northumberland Fusiliers. I dont know much more about Tom, but i do know he got to the Reichstag in Berlin in 1945, and actually found a peice of paper with Adolf Hitler's signiture on it! which we have got at home!

Comments: I know this is probably just a stab in the dark, but does anyone remember my grand father JONAS JARMUSKA. He was either Lithuanian or Polish and I think he was a pilot (but not sure) He came to Britain during WW2. I would love to hear from anyone who remembers him as sadly we didn't get to spend much time together. congratulations on a great site Nicola

Comments: This is a wonderful site, very useful for the History research I am currently doing. I would be very interested to hear from women who felt that their roles in society changed during the war. What are your own personal experiences? I would also love to hear a German woman's perspective on the changes women in Germany and the occupied territories saw. Thank you.

Comments: Such a great site. Hope that many people find it and pass it along. Maybe we can still find friends from our youth. So many have gone to other countries like I did in the 1950s. I come back often and wish I had kept in contact with many of them. Would be nice now to see them and how their lives had turned out. Jeanne

Comments: Hello, I found your pages when looking for the name of "Roland Anheisser". Roland Anhei?er was my Grandfather, living at Jugenheim close to Darmstadt. The relation to Leipzig was very close due to my father's familiy (Koehler)was living at and originating from Leipzig. They had been book-publishers. My mother, Luise Anita von Hase, the only daughter of Roland Anheisser, is still living in the old villa of Roland Anheisser at Jugenheim. Most of his paintings have been destroyed by a bomb fire when the villa south of Darmstadt were hit. If you are interested in more pls do not hesitate to contact me. sincerely Klaus K. von Hase-Koehler

Comments: I don't remeber much about the war except seeing bombed houses that, to me, looked like dolls houses with the front exposed. I was curious about being able to look into over people's houses. I remember my family crying because an aunt had drowned on board the "Athenia" which was the first ship to be torpedoed when war broke out in Sept. 1939. I was born in September 1940 a year after war was declared and remember the grief of my family when discussing poor aunt Martha. She was on her way back home to Canada when the Athenia was fired upon. I can remember everyone saying how much like aunt Martha I looked. I saw a photo of her once and must admit there was a likeness. We lived in Church Lane, Moston, Manchester during the war and later lived in one of the new "prefabs" at Heaton Park.

Comments: 1. We had two(2) British Commonwealth Air Training Plan airfields near my Home Town. 2. I delivered the daily newspaper through the Pilots Barracks. No 10 Service Flying School had Cessnas & Harvard aircraft. No 7 Bombing & Gunnery had Ansons & Fairy Battles. 3. A sight I saw as a 10/11 year old was a Fairy Battle with a stuck undercarriage land on one wheel. As it lost ground spped a wing hit the runway and sparks were flying. No one was injured. Tom
