    Frmn. Cecil Tester "Bob" Coates MiD..     Auxiliary Fire Service

    My father, Cecil Coates, born 20th April 1907, was an auxiliary fire fighter during WW2. He was on duty when an unexploded mine, dropped by parachute, landed on London's Hungerford Bridge near to a blazing signal box. He and his crew fought the blaze throughout the night to prevent the flames reaching the bomb, which had fused itself to the rails due to heat. In the morning, a bomb disposal major managed to defuse the bomb without damaging the bridge or the railway line. Dad and his crew were decorated and mentioned in dispatches.

    Celebrate your own Family History

    Celebrate by honouring members of your family who served in the Secomd World War both in the forces and at home. We love to hear about the soldiers, but also remember the many who served in support roles, nurses, doctors, land army, muntions workers etc.

    Please use our Family History resources to find out more about your relatives. Then please send in a short article, with a photo if possible, so that they can be remembered on these pages.














    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.
