Iris Grace "Grid" Nickson . Womens Land Army from Lupset, Wakefield Iris Nickson is my mother, I have no details of her service with the Land Army. She must have been in her teens during the war. She once told me about hoeing turnips. The farmer put out lots of hoes for the girls to use, and the girls all chose the new ones. They all suffered from terrible blisters on their hands from the rough wooden handles. They would have been much better off if they had chosen the older, well worn tools. She had no agricultural experience and must have served for a very short time. I would love any news of any kind.

Lt. Thomas Arthur Nicol MC.. British Army Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders from Buckie, Scotland I really don't know too much. But I do know that my uncle, Thomas Arthur Nicol, escaped when Tobruk fell to the German's and travelled over 300 miles to Alexandria. He commandeered a German truck with a knife and drove part of the way. My father says he also shared food/water with some Germans he met in the desert going the opposite direction.
My dad says there was a plaque for him in Buckie. He was called the Buckie hero. My Grandmother was send a Missing in Action letter, but she never gave up hope. And, he survived.
He passed away several years ago from melanoma. His back had been so badly damaged those days in the desert.

W/Cdr. James Brindley Nicolson VC, DFC.. Royal Air Force 355 Sqdn. from Hampstead, London (d.2nd May 1945) James Nicholson died on the 2nd of May 1945 aged 28.
He is commemorated in the Kranji War Cemetery in Singapore. He was the son of Leslie Gibson Nicolson and Dorothea Hilda Nicolson; husband of Muriel Caroline Nicolson, of Kirkby Wharfe, Yorkshire.
The citation in the London Gazette of 15th November, 1940, gives the following details:- "On August 16th, 1940, during an air battle near Southampton, four cannon shells hit wing Cdr. Nicolson's aircraft, two wounding him and one setting fire to the gravity tank. When about to abandon his plane he sighted an enemy fighter which, despite the flames in his cockpit, he attacked and brought down. In so doing he incurred serious burns on his hands, face and neck. In continuing to engage the enemy although wounded and with his aircraft on fire, Wing Cdr. Nicolson displayed exceptional gallantry and disregard for his own life."

Sub.Lt.Writer. Joseph Harold Nield . Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve HMS Aurora from Bournemouth My father, Harold Nield enjoyed his sea time on Aurora, necessary to get his commission which, he avowed, was offered to him because he could type, he was Ships Writer. He remembers Kenneth More (the actor who was, I believe, Jimmy the One) and his signature is on Dad's Crossing The Line Certificate. The captain was Captain Agnew (not sure if that was his rank then) who later was the first captain of the battleship HMS Vanguard. During his time on Aurora, Dad was at Oran and later told me the French had larger shore based guns than on Aurora. He joined shortly after Aurora sank a number of Italian Merchantmen during one engagement, during which Penelope did not get one!( according to Dad). He said HMS Aurora was a happy ship.
My father later, with his boss Commander Godfrey, was one of the two officers who set up RNAS Cullum, near Oxford which accepted aircraft into naval service from the manufacturers.
