Sgt. Charles Trevor Daniel .     Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve No. 172 Squadron, RAF (d.13th Apr 1942)

A memorial to five air crew of a Wellington bomber was discovered by my son and family during a cliff walk in Devon. A keen family historian, I was determined to find out about "these boys", and so the journey began. All five names have been submitted to your website and they are all buried in the Heaton Punchard (St. Augustine) Churchyard, Devon. Four are side by side, and one a row behind. Their plane crashed at the base of the cliffs where their memorial was erected in 1988. The crash happened on the 13th April 1942, and as I understand it the No. 172 Squadron RAF was only formed on the 4th April 1942. These are the five: Ernest Blair was from New Zealand; Hamar Russ was Canadian; and Charles Daniel, Frederick Le Bon and Leslie Noble were British. We hope to visit their graves, now that we know where they are. R.I.P.

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.
