Please tell us your story: Please use this form to add details and stories of those who served during the two World Wars 1914-18 and 1939-45. If you have a query or question, please use the email link below instead, queries entered in the input form will be deleted without reply. Please note this is not a live entry system, it will take time before the submission appears on the site, thank you for your patience. If you are trying to place an advert or are intending to type nonsense, please do not waste your time or ours, all submissions are checked before they appear online all rubbish is deleted. If you do not have information for a particular field please leave it empty, inserting "Not known" or "-" only creates extra work for our volunteers. Please type your stories in full sentences and correct English. DO NOT use all CAPITALS for ANY words (except abbreviations) as entries will have to be retyped and this will delay the processing. We have a very large backlog and entries which are in capital letters will not be processed until the backlog has been cleared. Please include the name of the Service and of possible the Regiment/Ship/Squadron etc. for those who served. If they were a civilian please put Civilian in the service field This form is used for all submissions from all pages of the site, we are unable to tell which the page you were viewing when you completed it so please insert names of regiments/ships/squadrons and pow camps in the relevant boxes as appropriate. If you have a question or a reply to an existing query please use the email link below, NOT this form. Thank you. Questions submitted on this form will not be answered, if you are not yet ready to submit a story have a single question or are looking for general information, please post it on our Wartime Memories Facebook Page If you are looking for assistance with research, please read our Family History FAQ's before emailing.
