Alfred Joseph William "Micky" Pate . Royal Air Force 50 Squadron from Exeter, Devon My Father served with 50 Squadron somewhere between 1940 and 1945. I remember when I was young he used to tell me about the crew of his Lancaster (Q Queenie), which was piloted by an officer from Canada or New Zealand, going out to the aircraft for missions piled on a convertible sports car, which had so many crew on it that whoever was seated on the front would shout directions and use their arms to direct the driver to the aircraft. I would love to hear from anyone who can tell me more about my father's time on the Lancasters as he died very suddenly at age 59 (in 1980). His birthday was 26th October 1941 and I am not sure if he had his nickname in the RAF or after it. He was a very good footballer and cricketer and I believe he played for the RAF or station team in football, which he carried on playing after his RAF discharge. Unfortunately none of his information from his RAF days has survived him. I have recorded his rank above as A/E as I remeber seeing this on a book of some description he had from his RAF days when I was very young, and the job Aeronautical Engineer is also very familiar to me. (I followed my father's footsteps into the RAF, serving from 1970 - 1974 as an Assistant Air Traffic Controller at Northolt and Bruggen. They proved to be 4 of the happiest years of my life.)
I have a photo which I will scan and forward later, of my father in uniform. Head and shoulders only. Many thanks

WO Alfred Pate . Royal Air Force 50 Squadron from Exeter My father Alfred Pate flew wth 50 Squadron, at the latter end of WW2. I would love to know who his crew was and where they flew from. I have vague memories of him mentioning being on the Ark Royal at one stage. I have found very little in the archives and I wonder whether because of the vast numbers involved in the bombing raids, and the turnover of crews and planes, there are records missing. I would be grateful for any information at all on my dad's time as I know that for all they were scary, he loved his time in the service.

Pte. Alfred Paterson . British Army 2nd Btn. Seaforth Highlanders from St. Boswells Unfortunately, father, Alfred Paterson never spoke a lot about his time in the PoW camp. He had a tin with photos which could have been taken there but he destroyed them shortly before he died aged 97. We think he escaped 2 or 3 times and ended up in other camps which we are trying to trace.

Doris Paterson . Land Army When the war broke out I was 18, and a year later I joined the Land Army in 1940. I loved the open air, and so decided to go into the Women's Land Army rather than the forces or factory work.
I was based at Buckhold, which had a huge garden and we supplied St Andrew's School with food. We grew mainly fruit and vegetables, but we were allowed to keep a couple of pigs as well, which were fed the remains of the meals from the school.
I didn't have any particular job, we did everything from sawing down trees, to picking brussel sprouts that had ice on them in the winter! One of the hardest jobs was helping the farmers when they harvested the corn. We would be out 'threshing' the corn, and we get covered in dust and the roughage. We were constantly hungary because we were always on rations, and we couldn't get a decent bath either.
I worked with one other girl, called Kathleen and we became very good friends (I recently tracked her down after 53 years!) I also worked with a gardener called Mr Brooker and a couple of other lads.
Buckhold was surround by American forces in Pangbourne, Caversham, Aldermast and Greenham Common. Whenever I went to a dance there were always lots of American soliders!
The American Red Cross wanted volunteers to help with the breakfasts for the troops in the early morning. Kathleen and I both volunteered as it meant that we got free passes to the dances! We must have been mad, because after being up late the night before, we would have to get up early to help clear tables at the old St. Lawrences Hall in Reading! But we were young and had no ties and we were very lucky really, as all the gentlemen were very nice.
I worked at Buckhold for about three years, and although there were times when I felt that the rationing was harsh, I couldn't even afford a dress for the dances, because I didn't have enough coupons left after buying pyjamas! It was time of great freedom and it was wonderful to be able to walk freely and accept lifts from people because there was a great deal of goodwill and trust as we were all in the same boat.

Piper Robert Alexander "Pat" Paterson . British Army Gordon Highlanders from Aberdeen My late father Robert Paterson was a Piper in the 1st Battalion Gordon Highlanders, and was taken prisoner at St Valery En Caux in 1939. He was a prisoner throughout the war and was, I believe, in many camps. He told me many stories about his experiences and his great admiration for the Polish people as he said they were the bravest people he had ever met.
