Spr. Albert Stanley Peverell . British Army 166 Railway Construction Coy. Royal Engineers The only information I have concerning my father, Stan Peverell is that his letters to my mother from Italy and Africa said
“Sapper AS Peverell, 1892925, 161 R.C.C. RE., C.M.F
I believe CMF means central mediterreanean force. He was in the Royal Engineers, but what is RCC?

Spr. Ronald Ernest Peverett . British Army Royal Engineers from 51 Kingswood Road, Chiswick, London, W4 I was born shortly after my father, Sapper Ronald Peverett, left in January/February 1942 for Palestine. In the letters my mother sent she referred to me as "our darling baby" so it was a long time before he knew I was a girl. It was even longer before he saw me - I was over three years old.
The only story he told was that of being awake in bed in a large tent one night when he saw an Arab boy enter and quietly approach each sleeping person and steal things. As he approached my father he pretended to be asleep then, as the boy went to steal from him, he jumped up and grabbed the boy. The boy responded by biting his hand and then running away but he dropped what he was taking from my father.

May Phaby . Women's Land Army I served in the Land Army for nine years in Cornwall from 1941 to 1950, when it disbanded. We had a review at Penzance by the Late King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. This was a great occasion in our Land Army lives, an unforgettable time.
I was mostly employed on dairy farms around West Cornwall. I still have my original badge,armlets,certificates and of course a lot of photographs. I would love to meet up with any former Land Girls who knew me to share our memories. My Land Army number was 39311 which I remember as clear as a bell.
I feel that all the Land Army girls helped to feed the nation, some even losing their lives, especially on the east coast.
I continued in dairy farming up until the sixties when I married an ex-farmer, John Lawley.

Pte. Joseph Phalen . Canadian Army Cape Breton Highlanders Uncle Joe Phalen never ever talked about the war.
His only story to me was that he played ball at Arnhem. This was a fun story for him since I had become a paratrooper.
News about Joe comes back though, one of his future brothers in law saw the J. Phalen name on his kit and thought crikey!, he's 17. If that kid gets killed I can't go home!
I have a photo of Joe in uniform with two of his five sisters also in uniform.
