John Kendrick .     British Army Royal Warwickshire Regiment   from Birmingham

My Uncle John Kendrick was a prisoner of war at Stalag XXB. As far as we know he was captured at Dunkirk and spent the remainder of the war in the POW camp. He was in the Royal Warwickshires Regiment and their museum in Warwick (now called the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers museum) was very helpful in finding out information about where he was a POW and what his service (511823) and POW numbers (282) were. I would recommend them. I want to find out what battalion he was in and wonder if there is any quicker process than going via an army war records enquiry which I understand can take up to a year. I Would also love to know if anyone else has any information relating to him

Gnr. John W. Keningale .     British Army 2/28th HAA Royal Artillery   from Leyton

Looking for any information on John Keningale (or Jack as he was known). My grandfather served in the 8th Army, Royal Artillery as a Gunner, although I'm finding it hard to come up with any info on his particular outfit due to conflicting information on his discharge papers. On one set of documents he is listed as belonging to the 28/2 HAA RA and on another he is docmented as belonging to the 16/2 RA. I know he served in Africa and I believe he was also in Italy, as that's where he met my grandmother. If anyone has any stories about him or knew him personally, I love to hear about them.




Sgt. Ernest Kenley .     British Army 13/18th Royal Hussars (d.21st Jan 1945)

My great uncle Sgt. Ernest Kenley served with 13/18 Royal Hussars and died on 21st January 1945, aged 28. He has a memorial at Groesbeek but that is all I know. I think he died in the Battle of the Bulge but am not sure. I would be grateful to hear from anybody who knew him or could tell me where he died and in which battle.




Hammond Kenlin .     Auxiliary Fire Service Hackney Downs, London   from Homerton, London

My father, Ham Kenlin joined the AFS before the war, and served throughout WW2. I can remember my dad coming home in the day, covered in black soot, in fact when I was playing out in the street I ran into my house calling my mother that there was a black man calling, not realising it was my dad. He was in the great fire in the London Docks as well as travelling up to Coventry when it was bombed.

He suffered from all of the trauma, and never fully recovered, always ill until he died at the age of 65. If anyone deserved a medal my father did. He never received any pension from the Government or thanks. I wish he had joined up in the Army, I am sure he would have lived longer. He told us that many of his comrades died fighting the fires in London, and I am not sure but I think his Station at Hackney Downs had a direct hit.




DW Kenn .     British Army Yorkshire Regiment

DW Kenn served with the Yorkshire Regiment British Army. I have his unissued dogtags, made in preparation for deployment to the Far East and would love to get them home to his family. I am happy to cover all costs. If you are a family member or can put me in touch with them please get in touch.
