Douglas Lawrence. . Royal Air Force 426 Squadron My grandfather, Douglas Lawrence served with the RAF during the second world war. On the 6th of January 1945 his Halifax bomber (Z5-N) was shot down over Belgium on a mission to Hanau. After some research we have found the approximate location of the crash site is some 2km s from the town of Hargimont.On the night of his final mission there were 8 crew on board, however he was the only survivor. He managed to parachute to safety before watching his plane crash to the ground. When he landed he remembers being in a large open area covered in snow with a few large rocky outcrops. As it was he had landed around 10 miles from the Battle of the Bulge behind enemy lines. After the crash he headed east until he came to a straight road that had a large bend at one end with a 2 story house on one side. As he walked around the bend he walked straight into a German guard and became a POW. We are looking for any information that could help us find the exact location of his plane crash site. From the information we have 4 of the crew were first buried about a quarter of a mile from the crash site on top of a hill however the 7 dead now rest at Hotton war Memorial. My grandfather was with Squadron 462 (we believe he was part of bomber group 100 at the time of his mission) flying from Foulsham. My grandfather has no photographs of his crew or the crash site. If you could help in any way please contact me.

Joseph Lawson . Army 37th Reserve MT Royal Army Service Corps My name is Joseph Lawson. I enlisted in 1940, although I wanted to join RAF, when I told the recruiting Officer I could drive, there was only one place for me: as a driver with the RASC. After basic training, I joined the 37th Reserve MT and was sent off to North Africa to join the Middle Eastern Expeditionary Force, later to be known as the 8th Army. During my time in the Desert, I was attached to many different Regiments and Divisions: 4th Indians, New Zealand, British 10 Corps. After El Alamein, I then joined up with 1st Army for the Italian campaign, landing at Salerno, near Naples. And in Italy I stayed until 1945, eventually being de-mobbed in 1946, six years after saying goodbye to my family and friends. I am proud to say that I was a D Day Dodger! It would make me very happy to make contact with anyone who also got their "knees brown" and possibly swap some stories of leave in the Cairo souks, Alex, or Rome. In Winston's words: "Hello My Dear Desert Rat"
