James Kerr . Navy from Glasgow, Scotland
I have just found out through tracing my tree that my Grandfather James Kerr served on the HMS "Pepperpot" Penelope. My mother always mentioned a story about the ship which mentioned my Grandfathers name in it. By doing some research I have heard of a book called HMS Pepperpot by Ed Gordon. If anyone has this book, or indeed has an information relating to my Grandfather I would love to hear from you, merely to see if he is actually named in it.
John Lewis Kerr . New Zealand Army
John Lewis Kerr . from New Zealand
I have a paybook of my late Father's John Lewis Kerr of New Zealand. Written in pencil on the back 2 pages are the brief details of his capture in 1942 to 1945 in a POW camp. I am expecting more copies of letters he wrote from 1942-1945 to arrive from Australia soon. These letters will give us more of an insight into our Father and what he experienced during those years. Another who seldom spoke of his wartime trauma.

Pte. Matthew Kerr . British Army Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders
My father Matt Kerr recently died aged 92 and he was one of the last soldiers from the Argyle & Sutherland Highlanders to leave Saint Nazaire. I am trying to find out if he actually left on the Lancastria or another boat? He always maintained he sunk three times during the Second World War and I wondered if the Lancastria was one. Anyone with any ideas please email me.
Pte. Matthew Kerr . British Army 7th Battalion Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders from Kilsyth, Scotland
Matt Kerr enlisted in May 1939 and was assigned to the 7th Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. He was one of those left after Dunkirk and had to make his way to Le Havre.
He was wounded at some stage but then transferred as a gunner in the Navy possibly on a minesweeper escorting convoys out of Oban. We have his service history but it is silent on the details of his maritme experience so further research is needed to try to find this out. We know he was torpedoed at least twice but still survived the war. We would dearly like to find out more.

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.
