Pte. Trevor Davies . British Army Welch Regiment from Ynyshir, Rhondda My father Trevor Davies enlisted at Pontypridd on 14/09/1925. He served in China, Hong Kong and India and transferred to the Reserve on 11/04/1933. He was recalled to the Colours in 1939 and he served in France from 11/09/1939 to 20/06/1940. He was discharged as permanently unfit on 24/09/1940. I am interested to find out where he served in France and with what unit. I can find no record of the Regiment in France as part of the B.E.F. but probably units were cobbled together at this time.

Sgt. Walter Davies . Irish Guards 1st Btn. from Rawtenstall My father, Walt Davies who at the time of writing is 95 years of age, served in the Irish Guards. I have often spoken with him in relation to his wartime experiences, but he doesn't really give out much information. Many years ago I remember seeing some old photographs of his platoon, but rather unfortunately during his house moves they must have been misplaced.
I would really like to what his role and experiences during WW2 actually were.

William Henry Davies . British Army from Wales England My Grandfather William H. Davies was a Desert Rat. He was also captured by the Japanese army & held captive. He was tortured to give info & he had his ankles broken & when the bones would start to heal they would be broken again. He also had a wire put up his nose as a method to make him talk & until the day he died he could not smell. I am looking for any photos anyone might have of my grandfather from the 8th Army.

Cpl. William Charles "Davy" Davies MID.. Royal Air Force 235 Sqd. from Worcester I found this letter in Dad's keepsakes after he died. Dad did have lots of stories and lots of pilots would give him stuff before they took off on missions. He did say that he loaded bombs up to attack the Turpits in Norway. I know he spent some time in Canada near the end of the war. "Looking for John Merrit Observer, 235 Beaufighter Sqd. Coastal Command
mentioned Battle of Britain survived. He could well be the only one left of his unit.
I sent him on many missions with a full tank of octain
I am interested in perhaps is final mission from Solum vo Shetlands to the Norwegian cost line I knew many (I was perhaps the longest serving member of 235 squadron ) 645875 Davies W.C."

Pte. William Frank Davies . British Army 6th Btn. Queen's Own Royal West Kent Rgt. from Chepstow (d.17th November 1942) I didn't have the privilege to meet my grandfather, he had been killed in action during the first day of the battle in Djebel Abiod, Tunisia on 17th November 1942. Sadly, my grandmother never really came to terms with her loss and still mourned his death up until the day she died in 1995. Although she wasn't quite like Queen Victoria, cladding herself in black and shutting herself away for years, he was always in her thoughts even though she remarried my wonderful loving Grancher many years after.
From the snippets I have been told as a child, he was quite a character. He was handsome, charming and funny. He liked to box and was a member of the Chepstow boxing club. My grandmother who in her youth was quite a plain Jane, told me that all the girls in Chepstow had an eye for her Bill. He would walk past the shop in which she worked and they would nudge each other and flutter their eyelashes in hope that he would catch their attention! From the photographs I have seen he certainly was a catch, my grandmother, although not a beauty, must have pulled on his heart strings because he was very much in love with the charismatic kind person that she was.
Unfortunately as a child, teenager, then young adult I didn't take too much notice of the stories she would tell me of their life together. I was too young, too busy and my head was full of my own life events, the war was too distant for me to relate to. I used to call it the olden days. As I now pass middle age I reflect back on her words and wish I had listened and had met him. I have a copy of the last letter he wrote, a few days before he died and I wipe a tear from my eye each time I read it. The letter is not expressing the terrible fear, anxiety and horrors he must have been experiencing at the time, instead it is reassuring her that he was ok and she must not worry, of hope, love and optimism. It ends by saying that he is wondering if he has a new son or daughter who has probably arrived by the time she receives the letter and how much he looks forward to them all being together again. My grandfather died four days before the letter arrived back home, he never did get to know he had a son.
