World War 2 Two II WW2 WWII 1939 1945

Mess Attnd 1st Class J Guico .     (d.4th February 1944)

Held as a Prisoner in Fukuoka 3b.




Pte. Henry John Guidotti .     Btitish Army 1st Btn. Royal Norfolk Regiment   from East London

This is the story my Mum tells about my late Father. He was injured on D-Day and was thought to be dead, until by a stroke of luck someone saw his eye flicker. No details I'm afraid as Dad didn't talk about the War but I do have his Soldier's Service and Pay Book.

I would love to hear from anyone who knew him or, if possible, I would like to know where he was shipped back to. I have the large lump of shrapnel that was removed from his neck, it has tiny numbers on it (A39) is all that is discernable it is light weight and silver coloured. I have page 5/6 of the NAAFI News with a picture of Dad and

    L/C Farrow and
  • Cpl. Plinstone
the title being "The Three Musgetbeers".




Guijt .    

My grandfather was in Stalag XXIA. He survived the war and died in 1968.




F/Lt. Robert Douglas Guild .     Royal Canadian Air Force 424 Sqdn.   from Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada

(d.15th October 1944)

Flight Lieutenant (Pilot) Guild was the son of John Herbert Guild and Jennie Winnifred Guild (nee Armstrong), of Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada.

He was 24 when he died and is buried in the collective grave 270-276 in the Idum Churchyard in Denmark.

His bomber was engaged by a nightfighter over Denmark. The planes exchanged fire and MZ901 was finally shot down and crashed at Idom, Denmark.




Pte. Ernest Guildford .     British Army 2nd Btn. South Staffordshire Regiment   from Market Drayton, Shropshire

My father, Ernest Guildford, rarely spoke about the war and his time at Arnhem. However, when he did speak, he would mention the bravery of Major Cain. My father fought in the churchyard at Oosterbeek, and was eventually captured. When asked why he didn't manage to get away by crossing the Rhine, his answer was "I couldn't bloody swim, that's why". He spoke of being put in "jankers" on the odd occasion during his time in the Army.

I managed to get his service records sent to me after my father passed away. They made very interesting reading and I felt a great sense of pride.

    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.
