LACW. Lillian Kerry . Womens Auxiliary Air Force from West Ham Lily Kerry served in Baloon Coomand. Postings as detailed in Lilian Kerry's service record, records she served at RAF Hornchurch (Romford) was as an Aircrafthand Cook.
During World War II RAF Hornchurch was a Sector Airfield of RAF Fighter Command's 11 Group, covering London and the south east of England during the Battle of Britain in 1940. By this time, its command centre was in Romford, and a satellite station (an advanced attack outpost; RAF Rochford) was unpopular with the Hornchurch crews sent there from time to time because of the canvas accommodation.
She was posted to RAF Innsworth This station opened in 1940, the first unit based there being No 7 School of Technical Training who trained engine and airframe fitters and mechanics. More than 2,000 officers and men were based at Innsworth by the time training began in earnest in 1941, this being delayed due to the arrival of 1500 RAF evacuees from Dunkirk.
In December 1941, No 2 WAAF Depot was opened at Innsworth and from then on the Station became increasingly associated with the Women's branch of the service. By the end of 1941 the strength of the Station had risen to more than 4,000 including trainees. Eventually it was decided to reserve the Station almost exclusively for WAAF training, including barrage balloon training amongst other vital roles.
A notebook page of Lilian Kerry in her own hand, records the correct way to lay her kit out. She was from No. 31 W.A.A.F. Recruit Centre, Morecombe as an Aircrafthand Cook) ACH Cook in December 1942. Morecambe, like all other coastal resorts, very entertaining when the sun was shining, so we were very much unimpressed when greeted with torrents of rain. But we forgot this in the excitement of unpacking our newly acquired kit and sorting ourselves out in the boarding house, which was to be our billet. A rather small but neat comfortable and adequate room, furnished in the sparse but usual RAF manner. This was to be our 3 weeks training period at the end of which each one of us would know where our ultimate job would be.
On 14th of January 1941 she was posted to No: 2 Recruitment Centre), RAF Cardington, Bedfordshire. In 1936/1937 Cardington had started building barrage balloons and it became the No 1 RAF Balloon Training Unit responsible for the storage and training of balloon operators and drivers. In 1943 until 1967 it was home to the RAF Meteorological research balloons-training unit, undertaking development and storage
11th of Feb 1943 Lily was an Aircrafthand Cook at No 2 Personnel Despatch Centre, Wilmslow. The station was used for training new recruits. The recruits would learn about living RAF procedures and other information for a period of weeks then would be transferred to their operational station.
In March 1943 she was posted to No 8 School of Technical Training at RAF Weeton. It ran conversion courses for Flight Mechanics and Flight Riggers, and there were many instructional airframes on the ground to practice on.
She was promoted to A.C.W.2 as a Cook on 21st of April 1943 while serving at No. 30 (Balloon Barrage) Group Auxiliary Air Force, RAF Chigwell. The Balloon Centres were responsible for maintenance and supply to the Balloon Squadrons in its area as well as balloon repair and flight control.
The Balloon Barrages proved to be an effective method of protecting strategically important areas against air attack, in that should enemy aircraft fly into the winch cable the damage inflicted would almost always result in destruction. Should enemy aircraft attempt to avoid the cables by flying above the Barrage Balloons then they could not bomb their targets with accuracy. RAF Chigwell was the only aeronautical location to hold the name correctly, was set up as the recruiting station for No.909 Balloon Unit and opened in 1938. With a new war clearly looming, a new formation was set up to operate a variant on the Great War defensive balloon and the observation kite balloon of the Western Front. Largely concentrated on a site to the east of the River Roding it lay in between the area of its title and Buckhurst Hill. The site was mainly concentrated in an area to the north of Roding Lane but there were a number of minor satellite-works, including some which encroached upon the site of the former civil airfield of New Barns Farm to the south and across Roding Lane to the east.
On 1938-08-04 No.4 Balloon Centre was established there, with No.30 Barrage Balloon Group, the local operational army being based there in 1940. The site is best remembered as the home of the Central Test Board assessing airmen for ground trades.
On 15th of December 1945 Lily was at RAF Cheddington, her trade is recorded as Cook, Character Very Good, Trade Proficiency A Stat.
On 24th of May 1946 Lily was at RAF Cottesmore with >No 16 Operational Training Unit when she was awarded a Good Conduct Badge. Her final posting was to await demobilisation was to
RAF Wythall, No 105 Personnel Despatch Centre (WAAF) Wythal which handled the release of servicewomen from all types of air force work.

LAC James Christopher Kershaw MID. Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve RAF Honeybourne from Rawtenstall, Rossendale, Lancashire As a young man who applied for service during World War II, James Kershaw found himself in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve under the Officer Commanding RAF Station Honeybourne, Worcester as a member of the fire crew. He was born on 20th October 1920, which puts him in his twenties during his service years.
As far as I know, their job was to prepare the aircraft for its outward journey and its somewhat precarious return after a sortie. I remember James (my dad) telling me about how the planes had often been shot to pieces and it was miraculous that some of them got back. Some that did make it thus far would have damaged landing gear and it was the job of the fire crew to get the pilot and other airmen out of the plane on landing as soon as possible.
An account of what happened is written by Air Chief Marshall A.T. Harris KCB, OBE, AFC and I have a framed copy of this letter:
Air Chief Marshall A.T. Harris KCB, OBE, AFC
A.124
The Commander-in-Chief wishes to bring to the notice of all ranks in the Command, the courage and devotion to duty displayed by the under mentioned airmen of R.A.F. Station, Honeybourne:
- 1669210 LAC Leighs, W.S.
- 1313399 AC1 Herritage, S.G.
- 1161330 LAC Hancock, A.
- 1505750 AC1 Fennell, J.A.
- 1143912 LAC Kershaw, J.
- 1689333 AC1 Hodgson, S.W.
- 3011580 AC2 Ealeson, R.
- 1421278 LAC Taylor, L.F.E.
On the night of 3rd/4th July 1944, an aircraft apparently stalled on coming into land, crashed into the bomb dump and burst into flames. The fire which started ignited a large number of explosive incendiary bombs. The above mentioned airmen, who together constituted the duty and stand-by fire tender crews, proceeded immediately to the scene of the crash and under the direction of the Fire Officer and of the NCO in charge of the fire party, tackled the fire which by then had assumed serious proportions. Despite the intense heat arising from the combination of blazing petrol and explosive phosphorus bombs, and the serious risk of explosion from the presence of high explosive bombs in the dump, the crew continued to fight the fire from close range without any form of protection and with complete disregard for their own personal safety. So successful were their efforts, that within one and a half hours the fire was completely extinguished and all danger of the remainder of the dump becoming ignited was removed; had the fire not been so promptly and thoroughly checked, there would not only have been extensive loss of government property, but also a possibility of loss of life.
Although the crew of the aircraft were killed almost instantaneously, and it was not possible to recover any of the bodies, it is considered that all members of the Fire Tender crew displayed a high standard of courage and devotion to duty as well as a complete disregard for their own safety in circumstances of great difficulty and danger.

I also have in a frame which reads:
By the Kings Order the name of Leading Aircraftman J. Kershaw, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve,was published in the London Gazette on
1st January 1945 as mentioned in a Despatch for distinguished service. I am charged to record His Majestys high appreciation.
Signed by Secretary of State for Air.
In addition I have in a frame an embossed letter from RAF Station Honeybourne:
Royal air Force Station, Honeybourne, Evesham, Worcs
Ref: HB/C.70010.
Dear Kershaw,
I am attaching a copy of a Command Routing Order which has been received on the unit.
It is the Commander-in Chiefs wish that you should have a copy of this Order as a record of your courage and devotion to duty.
My heartiest congratulations to you as well as my sincere thanks for your valiant efforts.
Yours sincerely,
Group Captain, Commanding,
RAF Station Honeybourne
No.1143912 LAC. Kershaw, J, RAF Station Honeybourne, Worcs.
And here is the copy of the above mentioned letter:
From: Officer Commanding, RAF Station, Honeybourne, Worcs.
To: LAC J. Kershaw, RAF Honeybourne.
Date: 8th January 1945
Ref: HB/C.70010/3.
Honours and Awards.
Your name appeared in the New Years Honours List as having been Mentioned in Despatches by the Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief Bomber Command.
The Air Officer Commanding No. 91 Group wishes his best congratulations conveyed to you, on this well deserved recognition of your service.
I would like to associate myself with the remarks of the AOC No. 91 Group.
Signed Group Captain, Commanding, RAF Station, Honeybourne.
My dad, James, seldom spoke about the duties he performed during the war years but he did occasionally mention the horrendous injuries of airmen returning from their sorties as we gathered around the TV watching war films.
I remember dad, watching the parades of servicemen and women passing the Cenotaph in London in November on the TV remarking on how the uniform of the Air Force personnel was always the smartest.
I am very proud of my dad.

Pte. Leslie Kershaw . British Army York and Lancaster Regiment My father, Leslie Kershaw, was captured in Norway after crossing from Scapa Flo.
He was a POW in Stalag XXB. One day they were all called out and the Germans came round with a board asking what their occupation was.
Another prisoner nudged dad and said tell them you grow potatoes. A few days later dad was called out to the gate and sent to a farm to work.
I would love to find out more of this story.

|
Charles Keslake . British Army 1st Searchlight Regiment Royal Artillery Charles (Chaz) Keslake served with the 1st Searchlight Battery, 1st Searchlight Regiment and fought during the defence of Calais in 1940 as immortalised in the book by Airy Neave. His subsequent capture and memoirs of the next five years make for an extremely moving read. Chaz was in the habit of recording accurate detail especially dates, times and locations.
In this book, I intend to give an account of my life from the time I enlisted in the British Army, during the Second world War, 1939-1945, until my discharge.
The contents are entirely for my own use or pleasure, but I hope, should anyone read them, they will not find them too boring or badly written, and that they shall not form a wrong impression from them.
In the latter pages also, I may have a few cartoons or something inserted so that the book may also serve as a souvenir.
As most people will remember, just before war was declared in 1939, the government decided to train men in preparation for the coming conflict.
I, being of or just under the stipulated age, had to register for service under the Militia Act.
Actually, I was just under the age limit, but decided to get into the army and get my training done.
Had I not have been in such a hurry, things may have turned out differently, but fate seemed to take a hand in it, so perhaps it is a good thing that one cannot foresee the future course of one’s life.
I registered for service on 3rd June 1939 at an employment exchange in Camden Town, London NW1.
The terms of service were six months with the colours and three and a half years on the reserve.
I received my calling up papers in due course and reported for service on 17th July 1939 to the 22nd Searchlight Militia Depot, Morton Park, Taunton, Somerset.
During the third month of my service, Germany invaded Poland and owing to an agreement, England declared war on Germany.
While at Taunton, I worked in the camp hospital for nearly four months, after which I was posted to the 1st Searchlight Battery, 1st Searchlight Regiment, Kimmel Park, Rhyl, North Wales on 15th January 1940 where I completed my training and received draft leave for France on 2nd March 1940 which expired on 9th March 9th 1940.
We left Rhyl at 10pm on 15th March 1940 travelling overnight from Rhyl to Dover.
After embarking we finally left Dover at about 4pm on 1th March 1940 and landed at Boulogne an hour and a half later.
In France, we took over from a company of Royal Engineers who were billeted thirty kilometres from Boulogne in a Chateaux at a place called Setques (pronounced Set).
I went to France as a driver to the battery Sergeant Major and while at Setques was batman to a Royal Engineer Officer who came to us for a few days, and who incidentally was a famous racing motorist, quite well known at Brooklands.
After a stay at Setque, we moved to Roubaix where we were billeted in a large house which had been commandeered for us.
While at Roubaix our searchlights went into action for the first time with a fair success.
We were not at Roubaix as long as at Setques but during our stay in Roubaix, the Gemans broke through in the Luxembourg area on May 10th and we accordingly retreated to a small village called Gorre (famous during the last war as part of the front line being near Festoubourg) where we gave up our searchlights and were attached to an Infantry division and had to guard bridges etc.
We were only at Gorre a few days when owing to the Germans rapid advance which is now part of the word history, we retreated further back to Calais.
At Calais, we were billeted in a small cottage which had been evacuated by its owners.
The cottage stood at the back of one of Courtaulds (silk manufacturers) huge factories and for a few nights I slept in an air-raid shelter owned by the manager of the factory (who was an Englishman) who told us that the shelter cost £500,000 to build as it was specially ventilated, contained a lavatory, wash basin, and was equipped with a stretcher, besides being fitted with cupboards, deck chairs and forms.
The manager claimed that the shelter could withstand a direct hit from a 500lb bomb.
After a few days at Calais, things began to get a little warm as by now the Germans were again on top of us, so we took up a position as Infantry along the road with Bren and Anti-Tank guns.
By the following day, things had got so warm that we had to leave our billets, and took up another excellent position on top of a railway embankment nearer the centre of the town.
The position comprised of some of the Rifle Brigade, Kings Royal Rifles, Queen Victoria Rifles, a few men from the Royal Corps of Signals, ourselves, and one or two odd men from various regiments.
The first time we took up this position we succeeded in putting a German tank out of action, setting it on fire, and killing itís occupants as they jumped out, at a range I should say of about four hundred yards.
We then retreated from this position, but re-occupied it later.
Just after the second occupation of this position I had a very narrow escape. I was sent to get a lorry, which I had just placed in position, when I was told that tanks were coming up the road behind us, on which information I ran down a nearby cellar, and had just got down there when a shell blew my lorry and the house outside which it was standing out of existence.
No doubt a lucky escape!
From there my troubles began!
After a little more excitement, I arrived on the dock-side and then on to the beach.
The railway station was a complete wreckage, and there were lorries overturned and military and civilian kit strewn everywhere.
I have never seen a town such a complete wreck, as before I left, it was absolutely flat.
On reaching Calais Station, I joined up with various platoons of the infantry regiments and we slept that night in a field covered by our great-coats and gas-capes.
The following morning the battle continued even more fiercely than before. This however proved to be its last day, as at 6 o’clock that evening (Sunday May 26th 1940) I was taken prisoner of war.
The German officer who captured us spoke perfect English, and we were made to throw away our tin helmets, all arms, and any ammunition which we had.
Then what we termed as ’the march’ began.
We had to march from our place of capture, inland towards Germany.
The first night of our capture, we were marched all through the night during which there was a very heavy downpour of rain in which we had to stand still for about two hours owing to an air-raid by our own planes which was then in progress.
The following morning, we were rested in an old factory but were so packed in that we could only sit with our knees under our chins.
I can only remember ever being fed by the Germans about three times during the whole of the march, the food we got we had either to beg or steal.
That is not a very pleasant admission to have to make, but I can assure you that hunger is not a very pleasant thing.
I cannot remember the exact details of the march, but I will write them as they come to mind.
We were marched for three weeks, at the end of which we boarded a train comprising of cattle trucks, at Cambrai and started for Germany.
While marching, the French women were very good to us giving us everything they could and welcoming us in every village and town we passed through.
In several of the women’s attempts to give us food or water, they were invariably hit with the butts of our guard’s rifles or their buckets of water kicked over, however, in spite of these atrocities they were still determined to help us.
On the third day of the march, we were caught in another heavy downpour of rain and I can assure you I got really wet, as I only had my battle-dress on, having had the rest of my kit blown up in the lorry at Calais.
That night, still very wet, we were all packed in a church in which I was fortunate enough to get myself a chair but it was most uncomfortable as my clothes were still very wet and my trousers stuck to my legs.
On again during the next day until we came to a large football stadium, only to stop for a few hours during which we received a few hard biscuits and a drop of watery soup but as there were still very large puddles and the ground was very soggy, there was not much rest here.
On leaving the stadium we marched twenty five kilometres to Doullons (Douai) where we were once again packed into an old civilian prison.
As we marched so we multiplied in numbers, so that by the time we reached Doullons (Douai) we had with us some Belgians and French Morrocans.
I shall never forget this prison, the reason for which I will not explain, but we really were having some bad times.
In this prison, I picked up with two ambulance drivers, and we planned to escape shortly after leaving here.
We left the prison and had marched some distance when our chance came to escape - and we took it.

Gnr. Charlie J Keslake . British Army Searchlights Royal Artillery My father Charlie 'Chaz' Keslake was a POW in Stalag VIIIB from 1940-45. He rarely spoke of his experiences as a POW and what little information my family have I will post here in the hope that someone may remember him. Dad was with the Royal Artillery (Searchlights) and was captured at Dunkirk in 1940, spending the rest of the war in Stalag VIIIB. We think he worked as a hospital orderly for a time, and someone taught him to perfect the art of Pitmans Shorthand. We know that after the war he continued to write to Jack Minson from New Zealand and the name W. Bright features amongst his possessions. We would love to hear from anyone who may possibly remember Dad, or from anyone who could provide some insight into his time at Stalag VIIIB.

Private Ludwig Dominic Kessler . Polish Army Ludwig Kessler was in the polish army. When captured he was wearing a german uniform. He was captured in Belguim/France and was brought to Dover in around 1942/44. He told us that after 24 hours he was back in Polish uniform. He was stationed at Dover, Deal, Edinburgh and Ireland.
Whilst in Dover he was stationed in the Tunnels and was in Dumpy. Although he was never taken back to the tunnels before he passed away, he could describe them to us, his family. We found his initials carved on the walls of one of the tunnels along with other polish names. We have been told by the National Heritage that he would have had to have been of a high rank to have been there, but according to the report he gave to Polish Resettlement he was only a private. We believe he was of higher rank which he let slip on a few occasions. His father and uncle were of a high rank in the Polish Army. His father was Colonel Kessler and his uncle was a Brigadier-General. Can anyone help us to try and trace his records?
