Cyril Pellowe . Royal Air Force from Polbathic, Cornwall My dad was Cyril Pellowe. He was in the Royal Air Force and was taken prisoner on the island of Kos. I think he was then taken by train to Stalag 1Vb.
He was only 22 years old. He told us some tales of his time there. I have his dog tag still but sadly he has now passed away. I have read that it was the Russians who liberated the prisoners from this camp but I am fairly sure that my dad said it was the Americans who liberated them.

LAC. Cyril Pellowe . Royal Air Force from Saltash, Cornwall Cyril Pellowe was my dad.
He was a prisoner of war in Stalag 3b.
He didn't talk a lot about this time, just little things now and then.
He was in the Air Force and was taken prisoner on the island of Kos. He said that all the prisoners gave anything they had to the children before it was taken by the Germans.
When they were in the prison camp they were given injections using a cartridge pen and swapped some of their things from Red Cross parcels with the guards.

Chester Kingdon Peltier . US Army Air Corp My father Chester Peltier was stationed near Widnes, Lancashire during WW II. He was in the US Army Air Corp. While there he visited a family named Drummond. The wife was Alice. Her husband was in the RAF and they had a daughter named Freida who was about 6 years old in 1944 or 1945. When my father shipped out in 1945 he had over 200 letters that my mother wrote to him and we believe they may have bee entrusted to them for safe keeping but he was never able to see the Drummond's again before he left. Mom kept every letter he wrote her from 1943-1946 and I compiled them in a book and am hoping to find her letters to finish the story. My father passed in 2008, my mother is now 86 and March 7 would be their 67th wedding anniversary. The Drummond's lived in Widnes on Belvoir Road and also on St. Annes. It would be wonderful to find my mother's letters. Thanks in advance for your help.

PO A E Pemberton . Royal Navy HMS Nelson After the recent death of my mother-in-law, I found a silver cigarette case,which had the following inscription: A.E.Pemberton P.O. P/J 110609 "H.M.S. Nelson" 1939-1944. This seemed to be a strange object to find, because no-one in the family has any naval connections.If anyone could shed any light on the case, or a member of the family knows anything I would be most grateful. The case has what looks like a naval badge on the front. There is also a photograph of two men in navy white uniforms inside. My mother-in-law was from Leicester

Gnr. Edward Charles Penfold . British Army 6 Bty., 2nd Searchlight Regiment. Royal Artillery from Hindon, Salisbury (d.19th October 1946) Near my home in Wilton, I found Edward Penfold’s war grave at the cemetery in Barford St Martin, near Wilton, Salisbury.
He lies in a forgotten corner, the grave looking somewhat forlorn and a tad neglected.
I checked on the CWGC website and found his grave records and who was his family. I shall shortly check to see if his family are still in the area, and offer to maintain his grave, as the site is listed as being cared for by relatives.
Today, 10th November, Remembrance Sunday, I commemorated his service with my own Act of Remembrance. RIP Gunner Edward Charles Penfold RA.

Maud Penn . Women's Land Army My dad Alan Aldred died recently. He was called up for service in the Second World War and met a landgirl from Sunderland called Maud Penn. My Dad was taken ill and went back to his home in Bedfordshire to recover. Maud wrote to my Dad but his mother did not deliver the letters to him, therefore Maud must have thought that Dad did not wish to keep in touch, which could not have been further from the truth.
I have since found several letters that Dad wrote about Maud. 50 years after he first met Maud, Dad wrote a letter stating how he had never forgotten her and how he had been trying to trace her for years.
Maud may have married, and there is a chance that she may no longer be alive. However, I feel that for Dad, I would like to see if I could trace Maud Penn or any of her family. My Dad was married to my mum for 52 years, but I know that he never forgot Maud.
If anyone remembers Maud, please contact me. I would love to find her so that I could pass Dad's message on to her, which he had tried to deliver himself for years without success.

Flt.Lt. Thomas Alfred Penn . Royal New Zealand Air Force 487 Squadron from Christchurch, New Zealand Despite records to the contrary, of the twelve aircraft of 487 Squadron dispatched on Ramrod 16, two made it to the target, not one. Trent reported he was the only aircraft to reach the target. Not so. This has been well documented in recent years.
When A Apple arrived at the power station and attempted to release its bombs, it was discovered the belly of the plane and its load were missing. Due to severe damage to the plane, it was forced to ditch in the channel where the survivors including my father Thomas Penn, were picked up by a Dutch fishing boat. All were held prisoners of war until the end of hostilities.
3rd May 1943 was a disaster for the Royal Air Force.
