LAC. Robert Etchells
Royal Air Force
from:Failsworth
My father Robert Etchells enlisted in the RAF in July 1940 at RAF Padgate. He started as an AC2, then AC1 and then a LAC. I believe he became a motorcycle dispatch rider for the RAF.
Unfortunately, he had to be discharged in August 1942 following some sort of accident where he lost his right leg below the knee. Does anyone remember him or do they remember anything about his accident?
