At Oswestry

I grew up in the village of Henfield, Sussex. At the age of 18, in 1942, I went to Brighton and signed up. From Brighton I was shipped to Guildford, to 5 Platoon, C Company, No. 7 Training Centre. From Guildford, and Aldershot, I was posted to Sheffield. It was here, in a canteen, that I met my future husband, Cecil Cowey, a soldier in the Canadian Army. I then went to Oswestry for further training. In north Wales, I was trained for airplane identification, recognition.

After D Day, I was shipped by train to the coast and boarded a ship for Ostend, Belgium. Then, by truck to Antwerp, and Wilrijk, until the war ended.

Upon returning to England in 1945, I married my Canadian soldier, in December 1945, in Worthing, to where my parents had moved during the latter stages of the war.

Pte. Richard George Savage .     British Army Royal Army Service Corps   from Croydon

All we were told as children was that our Grandfather, Richard Savage at one stage had been missing, presumed dead, but in 1947 he returned home to Croydon.

Apart from this little snippet I know very little more but will be now contacting the records office for anything they may have.

Benjamin Sawyer was my uncle. He sent the attached letter to my father who had been injured in Italy just before Monte Casino. In the letter he says that on the 6th of June 1944 on his 21st birthday he was shot in the leg disembarking onto the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. He says it was a birthday present he wants to thank the sender for as he was put back on the boat and returned to England. A third brother was captured in Italy and handed to the Germans into a prisoner of war camp. My grandmother received 3 telegrams in short time about the injuries and capture, but all 3 survived the war.

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.
