Harold Roland "Rex" Threlful
Royal Air Force
My Grandad Harold Threlful was a rear gunner in a Lancaster Bomber in the Second World War. He died 22 years ago. My youngest son is trying to find out about him. We had a newspaper report, that my Nan still has, about a "plucky Welsh Rear Gunner". Apparently, he saved the life of one of his crew twice, leaning out of the plane and dragging his friend to safety.
I would love to find out any more info, this is all I have. I don't know what squadron he was in.
