Pte. Howell David .     British Army 1st Btn. Middlesex Regiment (d.12th May 1945)

I'm looking after 8 War Graves in Hamburg of Middlesex Soldiers, including that of David Howell. Early in 1946 the 1st Battalion Middlesex Regt. came from Lübeck to Rendsburg to stay for one year at Barracks called Albuhera Barracks. I was 11 years old, and after a short time the Regiment adopted me as a mascot. I made many friends, and am still in contact with a number of ex Members. I have opened a museum in our Town, Museum Time of Occupation. To the opening, 7 ex Members came over from England. I have received many photos from the end of the was, from the Barracks, in the Barracks, in front of the famous NAAFI Kiel Club an many more. If any one is looking for someone from that time 1946 1947 perhaps I can help, as I also have all the Diehards Magazines from that Time.




Pte. Howell V.T. David .     British Army 1st Battalion Middlesex Regiment   from Port Talbot, Wales

(d.12th May 1945)

Howell David CWGC headstone in Hamburg Cemetery

This young soldier, Howell David, was a "Die Hard" of the 1st Battalion Middlesex Regiment. Died aged 21 years, 4 days after the War was over. He made it all the way from Normandy to Lübeck North West Germany. Then went for a swim in Großhansdorf near Lübeck and drowned. What a drama. His resting place is in the Hamburg Ohlsdorf War Cemetery.

For many years my wife and I have looked after his grave on Remembrance Day. We feel so sorry, its so sad. I was 11 years of age when it happened. Rest in peace.




Tpr. Leonard Peter David .     British Army 10 Troop, B squadron 52 Recce Regiment   from Bethnal Green




Soldat. Oscar David .     French Army

Oscar David was taken POW on the 23rd of June 1940 and held in Stalag VIIIc.




L/Cpl. R. David .     British Army Corps of Military Police

CMP - one stripe on arm denotes Lance Corporal. Two carry revolvers on both belt and shoulder straps (Smith & Weston). White bands on legs and arms for traffic visibility. Boots were heavy and uncomfortable and had metal pads on soles for longevity. Date 1945.

My Dad, R. David, arrived as a British subject from India and was conscripted into the Corps of Military Police, age 16. His multilingual skills were useful in dealing with other Indian recruits, mostly Sikhs, and local populations. He said it was the best time of his life and spent most of his time around the Middle East but also a short stay in Communist Europe. They never told him where the ships docked but he is sure he stopped in Malta, Famagusta (Cyprus) and Habbaniyeh (Iraq). He likes to show me a bullet he picked out of a wall that narrowly missed him while his friends took aim at a wild cat (blamed for routinely raiding the canteen). He mostly dealt with traffic violations but also minor crimes. He recounts the CMP had the power to arrest much higher ranking officials and once arrested a 2nd degree Officer for being “Out of bounds” (no go area). The Officer was found at a brothel and politely requested another 30 more minutes, which my Dad agreed.

Can you help us to add to our records?

The names and stories on this website have been submitted by their relatives and friends. If your relations are not listed please add their names so that others can read about them


Did you or your relatives live through the Second World War? Do you have any photos, newspaper clippings, postcards or letters from that period? Have you researched the names on your local or war memorial? Were you or your relative evacuated? Did an air raid affect your area?

If so please let us know.

Help us to build a database of information on those who served both at home and abroad so that future generations may learn of their sacrifice.




Celebrate your own Family History

Celebrate by honouring members of your family who served in the Secomd World War both in the forces and at home. We love to hear about the soldiers, but also remember the many who served in support roles, nurses, doctors, land army, muntions workers etc.

Please use our Family History resources to find out more about your relatives. Then please send in a short article, with a photo if possible, so that they can be remembered on these pages.














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.

If you are enjoying the site, please consider making a donation, however small to help with the costs of keeping the site running.
