James William Lee . Auxiliary Fire Service 6-3 Yardley, Birmingham from Birmingham My father James Lee was told to stand guard over a pump during a raid on Birmingham on a particularly cold January night. He had heard nothing from anyone for over an hour so decided to abandon the pump and go for a cuppa in the next road as he was feeling numb with the cold. When he got back to his pump it was no longer there - just a very deep hole, it had received a direct hit during the raid. He may have been alive but got a rocket for disobeying orders and leaving the pump unattended.

Flt.Sgt. John Charles Lee . Royal Air Force 103 Squadron from Birmingham (d.7th Aug 1942) My uncle, Flight Sgt. John Charles Lee, was in 103 Squadron based at Elsham Wolds, Lincolnshire in WW2. He was killed on 7th August 1942 when his Halifax bomber crashed into the Humber Estuary. I have never seen a photograph of my uncle and would be grateful if anyone has any information, or could provide me with any sources of information, that would enable me to find out more about him or perhaps even to see a photograph of him. We already have a copy of his RAF service record.

F/Sgt. John Lee . Royal Air Force 103 Sqd. from 153 Sheldonfield Road, Sheldon, Birmingham (d.7th Aug 1944) My Uncle John Lee, my dad's eldest brother, was only 22 when the Halifax Bomber crashed in the mouth of the River Humber. After being shot at they managed to get to England, he had been been navigating the aircraft at the time. My dad often talked about him. My dad was one of 8 children who have all died now. My dad was so proud of his brother. My dad, Frank Lee, was in the Commandos and also served with the Yorkshire Regiment, The Green Howards. I am so needy of seeing a picture of my uncle. He had red hair my dad said and my dad passed away before I could find any more information about him, but I know he is buried in a grave at Yardley Cemetary Birmingham.

Pte. John Edward Lee . British Army Royal Artillery from Birmingham Jack Lee was a Bofors Gunner and fought in North Africa and Italy. He was one of the original Desert Rats.
His Bofors gun emplacement was hit by a Stuka aircraft bomb, he survived but had a perforated eardrum consequently, he was hospitalised in Italy. I have many WWII photos of his campaign.
|
Pte. John Edward Lee . British Army 7th Btn. Gordon Highlanders from Birmingham My father Jack Lee fought in North Africa (aka Desert Rats) during WWII. He operated a Bofors gun (Swedish anti-aircraft weapon). It was hit by a Junkers Ju 87 (Stuka) bomb which rendered him with a perforated ear. He was hospitalised in Italy and recovered, although not his hearing in the right ear.
He told me that when he first got to Tobruk they accidentally hit a local man in their four-ton-truck. The officer in charge ordered the driver to back over the man. He was told that locals regularly jumped in front of trucks so they would be looked after by the British but this had become so widespread that there was little space left in field hospitals.
There was a regular trade by the local Arabs in British passbooks. They would slip into the tents at night and knife the Tommy, take his passbook and sell it to the Germans for five pounds. This did not endear the troops to locals. Having said that, the troops did have small wins in that they would sell tea to the locals, but underneath the tea was mostly sand. When the locals discovered this, they would chase the seller with a scimitar.
Water in the desert was so scarce that dad would save some of his tea for lubrication for shaving. When digging in the Bofor gun, Dad's battalion uncovered a stock pile of Spam. I think he mentioned it was from WWI - not sure but they had spam with everything ... after the war he never touched spam again.... can't blame him.

Pte. Leslie Lee . British Army from Hull  My father Leslie Lee, spent 5 years as a POW in Poland - 1940 to 1945. Pictures that were sent to him by my mother were stamped Stalag XXB on the back. He was captured as part of the rear guard during the Dunkirk evacuation. Was part of the forced march in the winter of 1945. Few details are known as, like many others, he was reluctant to speak of his time in Poland. He did speak a little about the march and the terrible conditions, the lack of food and the cold. He also remembered that they slept in snowy fields and on the last day woke up in a barn to find that the German guards had all left and that the Americans were close by. They were liberated by the Americans later and he remembered being given food that he was unable to eat due to his being so malnourished. He was repatriated and hospitalized then returned to Hull to marry my mother in June 1946. Unfortunately he passed away at the age of 95 in December 2012 without ever opening up about this time of his life. I would love to find out more and am searching for more information about him.
