Norrie Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) Hi guys, @Lenny @Bil4338 @Ham & Jam, here's the page from my uncles logbook from 6th June 1944 that I was telling you about...:) Once he got home, he wrote to his mum ( My Gran) about how he felt bad eating bacon and eggs for breakfast that 6th June morning,, when the guys in Caen didnt know when their next breakfast would be.... Due to the reference to the Lanc in the report, it has a "special" place in my heart...:) Edited May 10, 2016 by Norrie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major General Bil4338 Posted May 10, 2016 Major General Share Posted May 10, 2016 Here's a photo of dad when he was in training, he's in the middle, back row.He also had a brilliant photo of him I think, in an RAF officer cadets uniform, in a small group with his instructors in RN petty officers uniform.almost all the trainees were in different uniforms.could I find that darned pic after he died? It just seemed to disappear completely, same as the WW1 portrait of his father, who was the first post war adjutant or possibly AdC of Bovington camp.I did have it, but dunno where it's got to.very annoying! ....sorry to hijack your post @Norrie, but these items must be preserved for all eternity... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
