Joseph Maurice Asher
Royal Air Force 40 Sqdn
My father, Joseph Asher was a Wireless operator, rear gunner. He flew on Blenheims, Wellingtons & Sterlings. He was with 40 Squadron. He found himself on the beach at Dunkirk and he spent some time attached to Monty's 8th Army in North Africa. He was part of the bombing of Dresden, Germany. In the 50's and 60's he used to wake up nights, screaming. The left over legacy from the conflicts. He died in 2001 at the age of 81.
