Thomas Daniels .
My father, Thomas Daniels was captured in Crete and spent some time in Lamsdorf 1941. He went on to Marburg (escaped), Wolfsburg (escaped), Gurtchdorf, Setsdorf and Muisburg. I spent many years trying to get him to talk about his memories but he would not say much at all. I would be grateful if anyone can remember him and get in touch.

Lt. Robert Kenneth Danks . British Army Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment from Hern Hill
My father Ken Danks served from 1939 to 1946 and saw service in North Africa, Italy, Kenya, Tanzania, and Palestine. He told me a story of when he was in Kenya. He was moving between stations on a motorbike, using a game trail, the nearest thing to a highway in those days. As he was travelling along he heard a rumble behind him and turned to see a Rhino charging him, and no matter how fast he went the Rhino seemed to be catching up with him. For some reason the Rhino eventually gave up and my father reached his destination safely, although still slightly shocked.

Ldg.Sea. Ronald George Daplyn . Royal Navy HMS Manchester from Briningham, Norfolk
My father Ron Daplyn was in HMS Manchester at the time of Operation Pedestal, serving as an Airframe Rigger for the Walrus catapult plane. When the ship was abandoned his duty was to destroy the Walrus's radar to prevent capture. By the time he had completed that, all the boats and floats had left the ship, so he went into the sea in his lifejacket. He was picked up by HMS Eskimo about 1100 that morning. He subsequently served in escort carriers, HMS Biter and ashore at RAF Defford, servicing aircraft engaged in radar trials.

EA. Charles Darby BEM.. HMS Nigeria
My father, Charles Darby CMX 46153, was an Electrical Artificer on HMS Nigeria from 5th June 1944 to 5th May 1946. Dad received a BEM from King George whilst serving on the Nigeria and I am trying to trace why he received the medal. There were only 48 of these medals given for bravery in WW2 and I think it was due to his action in trying to save sailors on the HMS Blanche which was sunk at the start of the war by a mine in the English Channel.

My grandfather, Charles Dwight Darby, was a B-24 bombadier in the 489th Bomb Group, 644th Squadron, initially trained at Wendover in Utah, and ultimately was stationed at and flew out of Halesworth in England during the months surrounding D-Day. He participated in the D-Day mission, and only several days later did his plane crash on takeoff, killing many of his crew members. He survived and, after a year in hospitals back in the States, proceeded to live a long life and have a very large family. He was a successful CPA in Tampa, FL.
