Sgt. Thomas Pegler . Royal Air Force 219 Squadron from Whitchurch, Herefordshire Dad, Tom Pegler was the navigator of Mosquito FK-E piloted by Jack Bremner, who was from the London area. He would never tell anyone what they were detailed to do, other than theirs was a Night Fighter Squadron.
He did tell me, however, one summer morning retuning to Acklington over the North Sea, the tops of the clouds were perfectly flat, so being the 'good airmen' they were, they did several practice landings on the top of the clouds until they realised the rest of the section had disappeared.
When they landed, everyone else had been back safely for several minutes and concern was shown for them. When he and Jack got to the briefing room, they were asked why they were late. 'Port engine, sir, got a bit hot so I shut it down' was the reply.
After debrefing, they got their flying kit off and hit the sack.
They hadn't been in bed long when the tannoy went, 'Will the crew of E for Easy report to the boss at once' (I use the word 'boss' because he never stated the rank of the man to whom they were answerable). They had to get their flying kit on again before they they went, but duly arrived. 'I've had that port engine run up - there's **** all wrong with it- now what were you actually doing?' '.'Practising landing on the clouds, sir.'
I cannot repeat what was said, suffice it to say he went ballistic and their proverbial cards were marked.
I believe they didn't do it again!

Tel. Ernest Leonard Pegrum . Royal Navy HMS Nelson from Hertfordshire Just looking at my Grandfather’s naval service medals and they cover both wars. His names was Ernest Pegrum, he signed up in 1917 aged 15 and was on various training ships until August 1919 when he served on HMS Dragon. Ernest and his brother George (Royal Marine) were in Canada escorting HRH Prince of Wales and (I believe) the Royal Family and I have a postcard showing him and some of the crew at a roadside halt. A few months later in October/November HMS Dragon was involved in a conflict in Russia where she was involved in shelling the Latvian coast and sustained some casualties. My Grandfather was signed off in 1928.
I do not have the WWII service records yet but have a beautiful Crossing the Equator certificate dated 9.4.1941 with Cape Town in the background and the silhouettes of ships that were (presumably) in the convoy. I recall my mother saying he was torpedoed on HMS Nelson. I believe that he served on HMS Pasley in 1945. I understand around D Day the Nelson and the Dragon were in Portsmouth at the same time (I wonder what Grandad thought on seeing his old ship). HMS Dragon was later damaged in an attack and scuttled as a Mulberry harbour breakwater.
I would just like him to be remembered. He never said much about it of course – or I was too young to listen.

Cyril Pellowe . Royal Air Force from Polbathic, Cornwall My dad was Cyril Pellowe. He was in the Royal Air Force and was taken prisoner on the island of Kos. I think he was then taken by train to Stalag 1Vb.
He was only 22 years old. He told us some tales of his time there. I have his dog tag still but sadly he has now passed away. I have read that it was the Russians who liberated the prisoners from this camp but I am fairly sure that my dad said it was the Americans who liberated them.
|
LAC. Cyril Pellowe . Royal Air Force from Saltash, Cornwall Cyril Pellowe was my dad.
He was a prisoner of war in Stalag 3b.
He didn't talk a lot about this time, just little things now and then.
He was in the Air Force and was taken prisoner on the island of Kos. He said that all the prisoners gave anything they had to the children before it was taken by the Germans.
When they were in the prison camp they were given injections using a cartridge pen and swapped some of their things from Red Cross parcels with the guards.

Chester Kingdon Peltier . US Army Air Corp My father Chester Peltier was stationed near Widnes, Lancashire during WW II. He was in the US Army Air Corp. While there he visited a family named Drummond. The wife was Alice. Her husband was in the RAF and they had a daughter named Freida who was about 6 years old in 1944 or 1945. When my father shipped out in 1945 he had over 200 letters that my mother wrote to him and we believe they may have bee entrusted to them for safe keeping but he was never able to see the Drummond's again before he left. Mom kept every letter he wrote her from 1943-1946 and I compiled them in a book and am hoping to find her letters to finish the story. My father passed in 2008, my mother is now 86 and March 7 would be their 67th wedding anniversary. The Drummond's lived in Widnes on Belvoir Road and also on St. Annes. It would be wonderful to find my mother's letters. Thanks in advance for your help.

PO A E Pemberton . Royal Navy HMS Nelson After the recent death of my mother-in-law, I found a silver cigarette case,which had the following inscription: A.E.Pemberton P.O. P/J 110609 "H.M.S. Nelson" 1939-1944. This seemed to be a strange object to find, because no-one in the family has any naval connections.If anyone could shed any light on the case, or a member of the family knows anything I would be most grateful. The case has what looks like a naval badge on the front. There is also a photograph of two men in navy white uniforms inside. My mother-in-law was from Leicester

Gnr. Edward Charles Penfold . British Army 6 Bty., 2nd Searchlight Regiment. Royal Artillery from Hindon, Salisbury (d.19th October 1946) Near my home in Wilton, I found Edward Penfold’s war grave at the cemetery in Barford St Martin, near Wilton, Salisbury.
He lies in a forgotten corner, the grave looking somewhat forlorn and a tad neglected.
I checked on the CWGC website and found his grave records and who was his family. I shall shortly check to see if his family are still in the area, and offer to maintain his grave, as the site is listed as being cared for by relatives.
Today, 10th November, Remembrance Sunday, I commemorated his service with my own Act of Remembrance. RIP Gunner Edward Charles Penfold RA.
