Sgt. Ralph Frank Clifford MID. British Army C Sqdn. Staffordshire Yeomanry My grandfather, Ralph Clifford, served in the Staffordshire Yeomanry during the Second World War. He was in Squadron C and a sergeant. He served from 1939 until the end of the war. He was Mentioned in Dispatches for bravery but I am still to establish why. I only discovered this after he passed away and I was presented with a newspaper cutting covering the award. He was part of the war effort in El Alamein through to Tunis and was part of the D Day landings.
Every Christmas we had a family tradition of eating dates after dinner as a nod to his time in the Middle East. He was a loving and kind man and adored by his family.
He lived a long and fruitful life in Birmingham and then Minehead. He was passionate about the Scouts and held the position of District Commissioner for the Sutton Coldfield Scouts.
Ralph was a civil engineer and later in life he worked in finance until his retirement.
Ralph presented the Staffordshire Yeomanry Museum with a glass presentation case containing the Staffordshire Yeomanry military badges which can still be seen there today. He is also in a picture in a book on the Staffordshire yeomanry during the WW11 which is sold in the Museum.
He never spoke about the war and I very much wish I had known everything I have since discovered so I could say thank you and tell him that I am extraordinarily proud of him.

Flight Sergeant Alfred Pearsall Clifford-Reade . RAF 102 Squadron (d.15th April 1941) I am trying to find out some information about my uncle, Pilot Officer Robert J W Williams who was killed in action on April 15th 1941. I understand that he was shot down over Boulogne on his third mission with 102 Squadron. I presume he would have flown Whilteys at that time, based out of Topcliffe.
I have visited his war grave in Bourthes, France and those of his crew. The Pilot was 741381 Sergeant J A Norris, Gunners 701654 A P Clifford-Reade and 755097 RT Selley, and Pilot Officer R A Childs.
The crew:
Sergeant Robert Thomas Selley, RAF VR 755097. Killed 15/03/1941, age 29 (Bourthes Churchyard)
Sergeant James Arthur Norris, RAF VR 741381. Killed 15/03/1941 (Bourthes Churchyard)

Pte William Clifton . British Army 7th Btn. Royal Worcestershire Regiment from Malvern I came across this photograph of my late uncle, Pte. 11719 Bill Clifton of the Worcestershire Regiment, amongst my mother's things after she died. The date on the back is March 1942. He was in Stalag XXA (176) and is second from the left on the front row. He would have been about 23 when this was taken.
I remember him coming home to Malvern after the war, although I was only about 3 at the time.
The family and neighbours put flags across the street, and there was another soldier with him, but I can't remember a name. Perhaps someone remembers them, or this picture ?
