205083 Gnr. Charles Maitland "Foo Foo" Forfar British Army Royal Artillery from:Southampton My Father Charles joined up to the local Territorial Royal Artillery unit in Southampton. He was a scrap metal merchant in the town and despite being in a reserved occupation he joined up anyway. The only stories he tells are of being stationed in the New Forest with the Ack Ack guns probably near Beulieu Heath. The heath was lit up to look like Fawley Power station and they shot at the planes attacking the oil refinery. He was later stationed in Dover in Doodle Bug Alley, shooting at the V1 rockets as they headed for London. After the war he was shipped over to Germany I presume as part of the Occupation. I would dearly like to find out his Regiment Battery etc. If any one could steer me in the right direction I would be grateful.
