My dad was born in Rotherhithe, London in 1920 and was called up in 1940 to join the RAF. He was in Southwark Park, very near home on a summer afternoon when the first bombs of the blitz started falling from above! In the RAF he became Corporal Leading Aircraftsman and was stationed in Lichfield OTU27, Honington 9 Squadron, Algeria, North Africa, Egypt, Iraq, Bahrain, Sicily and Italy.
I treasure the originals of these letters together with many more personal archive pieces which he compiled into an album. My dad was a wonderful man. Engineer, musician and role model father. I miss him and think of his wise words and advice every day.
