O'Dell Parker Carney . United States Army Women's Army Corps from Mount Airy, PA Served in Europe during World War II as part of a segregated black unit.
Mrs. Carney enlisted in the Army during World War II "because she wanted to represent her family in the military," said her son, Frank Carney.
"She also joined because her father was a veteran of World War I," he said.
In the Women's Army Corps (WACs), she was assigned to the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, the only all-African American and all-female battalion.
The 855 members of the unit were sent to Birmingham, England, and Rouen, France, where they sorted and delivered mail to U.S. troops. Mrs. Carney was stationed at both.
When the battalion arrived in Birmingham, members found letters stacked to the ceiling of the temporary post office. Much of the mail had been there for as long as two years.
Joseph Geeter, a spokesman for the Philadelphia chapter of Montford Point Marines, an organization preserving the legacy of the first African American Marines, said the work of these black women helped boost spirits among troops longing to hear from their loved ones at home.
The women in the battalion "took a lot of pride in getting that mail out," Geeter said. "Those letters really helped morale."

Daniel Joseph Carpenter . Auxiliary Fire Service from Kentish Town My grandfather never spoke about what happened and until he died I never even knew he was part of the AFS. His name was Daniel Joseph Carpenter he lived in Kentish Town so I assume he was based in the area as well. I'm amazed when I read what these men and women did during the war.
I write this as I watch a documentary on the Blitz that is bringing it all
alive to me and I must admit bringing a lump to my throat.
It would be great if others who may recognise anyone in the photos could contact me.

Pte. Frederick Stanley Carpenter . British Army Royal Warwickshire Regiment from Warwickshire I don't know a lot other than my Dad, Frederick Carpenter (born in 1920) had joined the army in 1939 and was sent to France and was stationed along the Belgium border, I remember him saying he was either a gunner or field gunner. He did not talk a lot about it but when he did I would certainly listen. He had a scar over his right eye which he always said was when his helmet was hit by shrapnel of some kind and the helmet edge gashed his forehead. I do know he was one of the last off the beaches because my mother feared the worst and had not heard from my dad till the last days of the Dunkirk Rescue. He finally showed up at her doorstep and afterwards was relocated to Scotland for a while. he was later with the Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers.
If there is anyone who could add more info or tell me who else is in the picture, I am interested.

Dvr. Horrie George Stanley Carpenter . British Army Royal Engineers from Ipswich My dad, Horrie Carpenter, was captured at the fall of Tobruk. He was taken to Italy where I believe he was put to work in a car factory, then onto Breslau Stalag 8a where he worked in a sugar beet factory. He told us that he escaped by swimming a river with two other prisoners, one of whom died. They were captured by the Russians and put to work digging graves for their fallen. He was repatriated by the Red Cross through Odense. I have the map they used for their escape and his Stalag 8a dog tag. These almost got them killed by the Russians, they thought they were German but an Engliah speaking Russian realised they were English, then put them to work. Sadly, dad has passed away. I wish I had asked him more but he seemed reluctant to talk about it further. I don't know who the other guy was. I know he made friends with New Zealanders because he talked about going there to live.

He trained at Bicester in Oxfordshire, then flew out to Gibraltar and on to North Africa, Sicily and Italy with 18 Squadron which was equipped with Douglas Boston 3's. The only place I remember him talking about was Foggia in Italy, I know he would talk about bombing and strafing German and Italian troops moving undercover of darkness at night. I do recall many of his wartime flying stories but there are too many to tell right now, but it was very action packed.
