208638 F/Lt. Leslie Stuart "Jimmy" James DFC.Royal Air Force 635 Squadron. My father, Flight Lieutenant Leslie S. James, was awarded the D.F.C on the 31st of October 1944. He has an excellent war record. As a Wireless Operator he became a Flight Lieutenant and he completed 66 operations from North Africa and England. Those in England being 33 with a Pathfinder crew on 635 Squadron.
I am one of four children, me being the eldest daughter, and three brothers, who are all so very proud of his achievement, and who we will always miss. My mother's name was Vera and they had a very special lifetime together. So glad I have been able to add to this information.
