My grandad, W/Sgt Frederick Ward, served in M10 tank destroyer troop, 21st Anti Tank Regiment, Royal Artillery.

I served myself, as a Jnr Ldr RA 1988, then Maritime BlueJob RCT1990, then TA 63 Sig Sqn 2003. I love military history, and we have got my grandad's service records etc. My grandad passed away in 1982, but if anyone remembers him, it would be great to hear from you. Many thanks

    The free section of the Wartime Memories Project website is run by volunteers. We have been helping people find out more about their relatives wartime experiences since 1999 by recording and preserving recollections, documents, photographs and small items.

    The website is paid for out of our own pockets, library subscriptions and from donations made by visitors. The popularity of the site means that it is far exceeding available resources and we currently have a huge backlog of submissions.

    If you are enjoying the site, please consider making a donation, however small to help with the costs of keeping the site running.
