George William Cawood . Air Raid Warden from West Lutton, North Yorkshire
It was several years after my father's death that I was told he was one of Churchill's secret army. His name was George Cawood, he then lived at West Lutton in North Yorkshire. His official role was air raid warden. He had a livestock haulage business. I only wish he had told me about his role. But I suppose if you have kept it secret for so long. I feel it's a shame these people did not get the recognition they deserved while they were still alive.

Capt. Aubrey Conrad Cawsey . British Army 5th Btn. South Staffordshire Regiment from Moose Jaw, Sask. Canada
(d.7th Aug 1944)
The following is a transcribed document from the Moose Jaw Times Herald newspaper regarding the death of Captain Cawsey in battle while serving with the 5th South Staffordshire Regiment.
Moose Jaw Times Herald, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada Friday, August 11, 1944
Captain Aubrey Cawsey has been killed in action in France according to word received by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Cawsey, 1219 Redland Avenue. The sad news was telephoned to T. P. Baylis by Mrs. Aubrey Cawsey, say the former Miss Kathleen Baylis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Baylis, 1161 Second Avenue North East. Mrs. A. C. Cawsey resides at White Rock B.C. and Mrs. Baylis is presently staying with her.
Captain Cawsey went overseas with the Saskatoon Light Infantry as a Lieutenant in 1940 and while overseas was promoted to the rank of captain. He was called back to Canada in 1942 and rejoined the 1st King’s Own Rifles of Canada on mobilization of the battalion. He took a course at the Royal Military College at Kingston, Ontario, graduating with the rank of Major, but relinquished his majority in order to return overseas and serve with the Imperial army. Leaving Canada in April of this year Captain Cawsey went to France on June 13. To mourn his loss, in addition to his widow, Captain Cawsey leaves a daughter, Joan, three and one half years old and a son, Thomas Frederick, one year old. His parents received a letter from Captain Aubrey Cawsey dated July 24, 1944 in which he spoke hopefully of the end of the war and of rejoining his wife and family. He was educated at the King George Public School and Central Collegiate Institute in Moose Jaw, later being employed by the Canadian Pacific Railway, the T. Eaton Company Limited and Slater and York.
Two brothers are serving in the Canadian Army, Major Emery B. Cawsey, with the Royal Canadian Artillery in Italy, and Captain Ralph B. Cawsey. Who graduated at the staff course held at Royal Military College in Kingston, and who left Regina a week ago last Saturday, and was flown to England. Another brother, Benjamin Cawsey, is in business in Red Deer, Alberta.

Cpl. Horace Hector "Joe" Chadwick . British Army Rifle Brigade from Bow, London E3
(d.1st-3rd April 1940 )
We lived in Bow, London, my father, Horace, although known as Joe, Chadwick was 28 and in The Rifle Brigade. I was only 8, the eldest of 3 daughters, and evacuated to Cornwall June 1940. My Father was stationed in Wellingborough, Northants, he came down to Cornwall to see my sister aged 5 and myself on his embarkation leave as far as I knew. Then he went to Egypt. My Mother subsequently received a message saying he was presumed missing between 1-3rd of April 1941. Fourteen months later my mother received news that, owing to lapse of time my father was presumed killed. Nothing of him was found, no dog tags etc. Only stories the family heard was he'd been wounded, then what happened no one knows.
I would be grateful if any one could give me any info. Was he stationed in Wellingborough? Was he wounded? Anything would paint a bigger picture for my family.
Margaret Chadwick . Land Army
During 1949/1950, my Mum, Margaret Chadwick, worked with the WLA in Surrey. On her National Registration card ( OTEH/137 3 - class code B312) she stayed on Brooklands Road, Weybridge, and at a SAEC Hostel, Coombe End, Woking.
She really enjoyed her days with the WLA, and talked of them fondly. It was our wish to take her on a trip to Surrey so that she could see some of the 'old' places. Sadly, it's too late now. However, I would like to know if it is possible to seek out a couple of her good friends from those days ( Olive & Eve - don't have their surnames), or more information relating to 49/50
