It became the AA Squadron on 17 May 1943 and moved to RAF Keevil on 17 March 1944. Then it moved to St. Omer in France in February 1945. By April, the unit was in Germany and, by May, in Denmark. It was disbanded in September 1946. He married Joyce Edna Robinson (WAAF 2143543 27) in November 1943 at Plumstead. My father was discharged on 15 August 1946. After discharge, he returned to his home town of Poole, Dorset and continued with his pre-war employment, where he remained until retirement. He died at Poole Hospital on 16 Feb 1998. He was a member of the RAF Regiment Association from discharge to death.
