Also the Presidential Citiation for the group.

I have the bomb pins, a silk flag of France and a few other items now.




May Phaby .     Women's Land Army

I served in the Land Army for nine years in Cornwall from 1941 to 1950, when it disbanded. We had a review at Penzance by the Late King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. This was a great occasion in our Land Army lives, an unforgettable time.

I was mostly employed on dairy farms around West Cornwall. I still have my original badge,armlets,certificates and of course a lot of photographs. I would love to meet up with any former Land Girls who knew me to share our memories. My Land Army number was 39311 which I remember as clear as a bell.

I feel that all the Land Army girls helped to feed the nation, some even losing their lives, especially on the east coast. I continued in dairy farming up until the sixties when I married an ex-farmer, John Lawley.




Pte. Joseph Phalen .     Canadian Army Cape Breton Highlanders

Uncle Joe Phalen never ever talked about the war. His only story to me was that he played ball at Arnhem. This was a fun story for him since I had become a paratrooper. News about Joe comes back though, one of his future brothers in law saw the J. Phalen name on his kit and thought crikey!, he's 17. If that kid gets killed I can't go home! I have a photo of Joe in uniform with two of his five sisters also in uniform.




CPO Gnr. George Charles Matthias " " Pharoah DSM..     Royal Navy HMS Warspite   from London

My father Kenneth John Pharoah died recently. He served in the RN in the late forties through the end of the sixties. In his possessions we came across short typed eye witness accounts written by his father, regarding the Battle of Matapan and the Second Battle of Narvik. I am currently re-typing these and will gladly send them to you upon completion.

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.
