F/O Harry Arthur Lode Lindsay . Royal Air Force My father, retired in 1959 as Wing Commander Harry Arthur Lode Lindsay, RCAF. During the second world war he was Flying Officer and navigator with Six Group Bomber Command. I do not know which squadron but I do recall him being based at Leeming, Yorkshire. He passed away in 1981 but he did 75 pen sketches of the life and times of Bomber Command (detailed and all 5" X 7") which he mailed home to my mother. I still have all of these original sketches. Something should be done to publish and protect them. Also I have a photo album he had with perhaps 50 plus photos mostly air shots taken during the war. These too should be preserved somewhere.

F/Sgt. L. E.D. Lindsay . 102 Squadron I am researching the male line of my family and I am interested in getting any information on my late cousin Ted Lindsay: Fl.Sergeant (W.Op) L.E.D. (Ted) Lindsay of 102 Squadron Topcliffe. He was reported missing after a bombing raid on the factory area of Hanover on the 14th August 1941. I have the details of his last flight as recorded on this site and also details from Commonwealth War Graves Commission of his gravesite. As Ted was 13 years older than me I have little memory of him and there are no surviving family members I can ask regarding where and when he enlisted. Does any one he served with perhaps remember him (a long shot I know)I would greatly appreciate any information either specific to him or in general to his unit that anyone may have. Finally to the organisers of this site I extend my thanks for such information as has been available to me, best wishes for the future and to your continued success.

Able Sea. Philip Lindup . Merchant Navy RMS Orama from Matruh Terringes Avenue, West Tarring, Worthing, Sussex I joined the Orama in late autumn 1939 and crossed the Atlantic to pick up Canadian troops from Halifax ,Nova Scotia. Returned safely before Christmas, my last one at home for five years! I then went to Australia and back on RMS service; once again no problems.
In May 1940, we joined convoy to Norway which assembled at Scapa Flow.
we ran aground in Scapa, following a naval destroyer which had much less draught than we did. To meet sailing date with convoy, we pumped out most of our fresh water; thereby hangs a tale! The rendezvous was outside Narvik. There were more ships in the convoy than were needed, so we were ordered to return to Scapa on our own, and it was then that we ran into the German Navy. We had lots of trouble with rats on the ship. Crew who had been on the ship since her maiden voyage, said that they had never known so many rats about. Did they know something?
The vessel was sunk and most of the crew were picked up by German destoyers and Hipper. We were landed Trondheim and transferred to cattle trucks on a train; these carried a sign - they would carry 10 horses or 40 men. We were taken down to Oslo and across to Denmark, and then down to Stalag 13 (I think).
Then moved to Tost, which is Upper Silesia, and was placed in the Tost camp along with PG Wodehouse among others. Eventually moved on to Marlag und Milag Nord, where I stayed until liberation in April 1945.

AB. Charles Sidney "Soap Sud" Line . Royal Navy HMS Kildwick from North Cheam, Surrey My father, Charles Sidney Line who served at HMS Collingwood and later assigned to HMS Kildwick which was a Kil class Patrol sloops (Patrol Craft Escort) which was was commissioned through the Lease Lend from the U.S in July 1943.
There are no names written on the backs of these photos of my father and his Ship Mates and those that l have are on the back of photos that l will mention , i.e Soap Suds and Lagos there is another that is on the back which l have attached any information would be grateful as my Mother is still alive and would like to hear from anyone who has any information on the Ships service and any photos as well as memories, l have no picture of HMS Kildwick.
Does anybody know anything about HMS Marleborough 25th June 1943 being issued with a 3 day pass which l have also included amongst the photos and of the Ocean Daily News Paper ( Editorial office , Ships Orderly Room , Main Deck Aft ! , it is Blank on the back and looks as if it was pinned to a Ships Company Notice Board.
My Mother tells me that my Father was on ships serving as a Torpedo man but l have looked and seen that HMS Kildwick did not have Torpedos and only Hedge Hogs and Death Charges and K Guns and 20 mm & 40 mm anti Aircraft Guns, so does this mean that HMS Marlborough had Torpedos the other thing is on his Marriage Photo with my Mother that a Trade Badge can be seen that maybe either a Cannon or Torpedo.
I look forward to hearing from anyone who may know of any one in these photos.

Sub/Lt. Alfred Edward Lines . Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve HMS Dorsetshire from Portsmouth My father, the late Alfred Edward Lines (died 1991 in Scotland aged 70), was serving on HMS Dorsetshire when she was bombed, by the Japanese, on Easter Day 1942. He only survived because he was on his way to the sick bay instead of being in the engine room. He was in the water for two days before being taken to Nairobi. He never spoke about his war experiences so reading stories of other survivors has helped me piece together his war service. I am grateful to the Association for 'remembering'.
