Henry Horace Lockyear . Royal Navy HMS Nigeria My father served on HMS Nigeria. His name was Henry Horace Lockyear, and I know that he served on the ship when it was in the Far East. His friend, Ron Harris, and my landlord's father, Gifford, although I don't know his initials, both served with him.
I would love to receive mail from anyone who remembers my father. He died last year.

PO.Art. John George William Lockyer MID. Royal Navy HMS Adventure from Plymouth John Lockyer was my grand father who I never met. But my dad has told me of a situation where my grand father worked hard with his engine room staff to get the broken down engines of the ship going to avoid sinking from enemy fire. My grandad served on more than one ship during WW2 but we are not sure if the above mentioned incident was on the HMS Adventure or another ship.
He was awarded the MiD for his gallantry act and survived WW2. He sadly passed away around 1986 in Devon.

Sgt. Ernest Lodge . British Army 413th Battery, 54th Searchlight Regiment Royal Artillery from Swinton As everyone who knew Ernest Lodge and his story properly have passed away I am telling a story I have heard but I am not sure it is a complete truth.
His regiment was sent to the Netherlands for an operation but did not realise that a field of tanks was waiting for the British planes. My great-grandfather Ernest landed without any artillery, alive. He apparently punched a German soldier so hard he then ran into a nearby barn to hide for three days. That barn was owned by a Dutchman and British women from Yorkshire (that I still have a photograph today). He was saved, then got back to his regiment (or from what was left) and was imprisoned for desertion.
Then it goes really fuzzy and I can't go further. I have his soldier service and pay book, photographs and his soldier release book.
I am including a photo. Ernest Lodge, my great-grandfather, is bottom middle of the picture.

Sgt. Ottiwell Francis Lodge . Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 106 Sqdn. from Manchester (d.9th July 1942) I have been researching the name Ottiwell Lodge as it relates strongly to an area of the Yorkshire Dales. I came across the probate record of Ottiwell Francis Lodge and it has led me to the recording of his death at the Runnymede Memorial and to this site. He was 21 when he died; his parents, Ottiwell and Mary lived in Levershulme, Manchester.
I'm assuming he was in a bomber crew that didn't come back. I would like to know more.

Sgt. Daniel Logan . Royal Canadian Air Force 419 Sqd. This is a photo of the hut used by "D" crew. The photo is one my dad, Daniel Logan has, but was also printed in a book about 30 years ago.
Names as far as I know are from L to R:
F/O RV Daly, LAC Jerry Greeves, AC Frank Beaves, LAC Vic
Hewitt, Sgt. N C Fraser, Corp. Don Mersereau, F/L AJ
ByFord, Sgt. Danny Logan, Ken Barter (no rank noted)
This one with Dad in the
ground crew with some flight crew behind was on F/O
Calders crew, I only have the names of 2 of the ground
crew, front row third from left Cpl. Don Mersereau and
Sgt Danny Logan , for some reason the rest of the
ground crew are unnamed. My Dad had a supersition about
putting flight crew names on photos so they are not
mentioned on this one. In fact they were not listed on
the photo of the hut, the names came from the book.
This Lancaster was lost sometime in late 1944
with a different crew on board or so I think?
