William Hugh Martindale
I am looking for any information on my grandfather William Hugh Martindale. He served in the war either as Canadian Army or British Navy. My mother was put up for adoption at a very young age and so we have very little information about him, other than he did serve in the war and he was married for a time to Nora Shaw. They lived at some point in Ontario Canada. Thank you!
2nd Lt. Edward W. Freeman Royal Engineers
I am in search of my late grandfather Edward W Freeman who was an Ex.British army officer in the Royal Engineers. 1939 - 1947.
Many many hours, months I have been researching sites and sites for him, but having such little information and no d.o.b or service no. I am starting to think my time is up?
Born in London, stationed in West Sussex. He was commissioned 15th February 1941 as 2nd Lieutenant and posted to Singapore, this is the only memory my mother has of him.
She also has letters from him whilst serving in the war. She last heard of him in 1947 (She was 5yrs old). There was No other contact. When she was able to write herself she wrote to the war office and the RE. hoping to locate and reunite with her father. There was No reply.
60years have now passed on and I as a daughter having listened to her story, you can feel her sadness which makes me more determined to keep going.
She lost her husband (my father) to cancer Christmas Day 2006 after 40yrs of marriage. In her lifetime she has NOW lost the 2 men that meant the world too her.
Please,Please, anyone who may of known Edward W Freeman could you make contact as this would mean the world too us and a final closure for my mother.

I am hoping to write a book on the WW2 Cinematographer Stanley Wemyss and I am trying to find information and photographs. He worked for the New Zealand Film Unit and was awarded an MBE for bravery whilst filming the horrors of war. He filmed on several fronts including Tripoli, Fiji and Singapore. Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.
I am looking for information on the Eagle Squadron, as three American personnel died when they got lost on the way to refuel at RAF Andreas, crashing into the surrounding hills in poor visibility. I am trying to find out more about the members of Eagle Squadron as one of them lodged with my Mother whilst convalescing.
James Richard Mulock
Is there anyone out there who remembers our father. He was a hero in Blackwall,London as he joined the Raf and became a pilot. Being from a working class background this was viewed in his home patch to be a wonderful thing. We know as his daughters that the war laid heavy on him and though he was offered a commission at the close of the war he couldn't wait to get back into civvys. For years he suffered terrible nightmares and would not tell his family of what was troubling him, only other men would he open up too, so we know very little of what happened to him in the war. He always loved aircraft and went out of his way to go to any airshows in the vicinity. Hoping to hear from anyone that could shed some light unto these days as he is now unable to tell us as he died in 1997. Marianne Thomas (his eldest daughter)
Private John Kay
Iam trying to find some details of my fathers war years. He enlisted at the start of the war aged 20. I know he was in B.E.F. and escaped back to Britain south of Dunkirk near St. Valery. I believe he went AWOL once or twice afterwards. He was in Gibralter for a while, maybe before the invasion of Italy 1943 and was captured around Sorrento during the invasion. He was marched up through Italy and on to a POW camp in Poland until the end of the war.
I am trying to find any information about a United States cruise ship during WW2 called the SS Argentina. My Grandfather was sent to France on this ship, then put on a train to fight in Germany. Thanks
Jean Wilson
Please help us. We are searching for information on a Jean Wilson who lived in Warrington, England during the Second World War. We have information that Jean married and went to America sometime after 1948. We think she may have married a GI based at Burtonwood, Warrington. Who did she marry and where did they go? Jean was born around 1925. She may have other children in the USA who aren't aware their half sister in England is desperate to find them. Please help. Anyone who was at Burtonwood at the time and remembers this lady please get in contact with us. Any tiny detail at all would be helpful.
Pilot John "Jack"
Can you Answer? Please does anybody remember Doreen Prior from Gravesend possibly worked in the Ashley Down Home at Clarence Place where she also had her baby Ann Prior on 1st May 1941. Father informed that Ann was to be adopted.Doreen was my Mother and lived in the Cross Lane area of Gravesend. Would not tell me anything about my Father only that his name was Jack/John and he was a Pilot and Canadian. Possibly the "Early Canadian Flight" 1940? Any one help.
