Pte. George James Bickerton 1st Btn Hertfordshire Regiment (d.29th September 944) George Bickerton served with the Shropshire Light Infantry and Hertfordshire Regiment. Any one have memories of my uncle? Peter Yates Add to this record. Pte. James O'Mahony Hertfordshire Regiment My great uncle James O'Mahony (spelled O'Mahoney on his records) was originally from Cork City Ireland. He was living in London before the war and joined the Hertfordshire Regiment during WW2. He joined up with three of his brothers. All four brothers survived the war. James was posted to Singapore and was captured by the Japanese. We do not know the full extent of his ordeal but we believe he was one of the many put to work on the Burmese railway. Afterwards he was moved to Northern Japan where he was a slave labourer in a Mitsubishi lead and tin mine at a POW camp called Sendai Number 3. He was rescued by the US Navy towards the end of 1945 after the Japanese surrendered. Dave O'Mahony Add to this record. Pte. Christopher Donolan O'Mahony 1st Btn. Hertfordshire Regiment My great uncle Christopher O'Mahony travelled up to Belfast from Cork to enlist at the start of March 1941. He joined up with three of his brothers. All four brothers survived the war. Christopher settled in London after the war. Dave O'Mahony Add to this record. Pte. Martin Henry O'Mahony 1st Btn. Hertfordshire Regiment My grandfather Martin O'Mahony travelled up to Belfast from Cork to enlist at the start of March 1941. He joined up with three of his brothers.

Hertfordshire Regiment Edward Lilley was wounded in Italy in 1944 but his mother received a telegram informing her that he had died of wounds. A few weeks later she was told that he had not died but was on the critical list in hospital in Italy. He recovered from his injuries and survived into old age. He believed his name was on a war memorial somewhere in Hertfordshire but we have not been able to verify this. Jane Hodgson Add to this record. Recomended Reading. Available at discounted prices.

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.
