F/O Norman James Eley .     Royal Air Force 514 Sqd.   from Sidcup, Kent




F/Lt. Norman James Eley .     Royal Air Force 514 Squadron   from Sidcup, Kent

The 30th April 1945 was a day I shall always remember. I piloted a Lancaster to Rotterdam to drop a number of food panniers to the starving Dutch people. 514 squadron flew low over the city and one could see the Dutch people waving and running to get the food as they had been reduced to eating any garbage they could find including tulip bulbs, plants, leaves and roots. I hope our efforts helped save some Dutch people from starvation. Henk Dijkxhoorn, a distinguished and dedicated citizen of Rotterdam now in his 80's clearly remembers the occasion when he was only a schoolboy of 11 yrs. of age. Memories live on.

Can you help us to add to our records?

The names and stories on this website have been submitted by their relatives and friends. If your relations are not listed please add their names so that others can read about them


Did you or your relatives live through the Second World War? Do you have any photos, newspaper clippings, postcards or letters from that period? Have you researched the names on your local or war memorial? Were you or your relative evacuated? Did an air raid affect your area?

If so please let us know.

Help us to build a database of information on those who served both at home and abroad so that future generations may learn of their sacrifice.




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.
