(d.22nd May 1941)
Albert Harding, Royal Navy, born 24th January 1901 in Wealdstone, Middlesex, took the King's shilling at about the age of 15 and served in the Royal Navy from that time, during WW1. Based at Chatham docks where he was acting Boatswain from 1928.

He served on the St Cyrus, a tug that was tender to the Repulse in the Atlantic fleet in 1930, on the Boyne in fishery protection and on St Issey in 1935 in the Mediterranean fleet, all based at Chatham and with him as Boatswain. In 1939 he became Command Boatswain on HMS Pembroke and in 1940 joined HMS Warspite.

Alec Harding .

B Lesley Harding . Royal Air Force
Lesley Harding volunteered for the RAF soon after the war broke out in 1939. He did his Square Bashing etc at Uxbridge and when this was finished he was posted to Henlow to train as an Aircraft Electrician. When this training was finished he was posted to Bircham Newton in Norfolk to a Squadron of Blenheim Bombers.
Towards the end of 1940 the squadron moved to Limavaddy in Northern Ireland where it stayed until about May of 1941. Then without any Embarkation leave he was put on a convoy to Egypt via South Africa. Dad was possibly the worst sailor and suffered horribly from seasickness. The convoy put in at Capetown and stayed there for a few days to allow the troops to recover. When they set off again dad told me about the lady opera singer who used to stand on the dockside and sing to each convoy as they left the harbour. Hazel and I heard about this when we visited South Africa a couple of years ago.
Upon arrival in Egypt, Dad was posted to a Squadron of Wellington Bombers and moved up into the desert where the Eighth Army were fighting the Italian Army. Then the German Afrika Corps joined in the fighting and drove the British back to Torbruk. When the Eighth Army were strong enough they began to push the Germans back and a lot of the RAF Personnel, Dad included, were used as Army backup Troops. Then dad, and part of his Squadron, were posted to Malta. The Germans had cut Malta off from the Convoys supplying Food etc., living in starvation conditions. Then the Navy eventually managed to get though and things changed for the better. Dad went onto serve in Sicilly and Italy until the war ended. He finally arrived home about September 1945, and found his little brother serving in the Parachute Regiment.
