The pilot asked for volunteers as all of his crew had been killed, and Uncle Arthur volunteered. He was 24 years old.

Leading Stoker. Cyril Claude Phillips .     Royal Navy HMS Warpsite   from Ogmore Vale, South Wales

My step father Cyril Claude Phillip was a leading stoker on HMS Warspite. I do know that he was a boxing champ in the Navy, he had hands like shovels, is there a listing of crew, somewhere or champions of ships? I know the ships had inter ship boxing matches within their fleets.

He had left school at 14 and went straight down the mines in Ogmore Vale in South Wales and then made his way to London, looking for work with his mates and they all signed up together.

He was very proud of having served on the Warspite and the only time I saw him in tears was when he told me the story of a bomb going off in his boiler room and mates of his getting killed. He had all his clothes blown off, with out a scratch and him and another mate sewed up the bodies and then got drunk on their shipmates rum, singing abide with me! This was the song he had chosen for his funeral which we sang.

SAC Donald Leslie Phillips MM.     Royal Air Force 150 Squadron   from Birmingham

Donald Phillips retired from the RAF in 1953. He joined as a regular in 1937 and as an air gunner in 150 Squadron took part in the Battle of France flying Fairey Battles. He was shot down twice, first during the German attack on the Meuse, then near Rouen when he was taken prisoner. He was held in the fortress of Doullens before escaping across France to the Pyrenees. After enjoying General Franco's hospitality in a Spanish prison, he made it back to England through Gibraltar. This is submitted in honour of the memory of two very brave French citizens, Albert and Yvonne Eveloy-Dupuis of Compiegne, who at the risk of savage retribution sheltered and aided a very young RAF airman and his Army comrade on the run. Vive la France!

Elmer Dean Phillips .     US Army 9th Armored Division   from Bloomington, Illinois, USA

My great-grandfather Elmer Phillips was wounded and captured during the Battle of the Bulge.

My grandfather knows more but it is hard for him to talk about it. If anybody has any info regarding my great-grandfather Elmer Dean Phillips, please contact me.




Sgt. Ernest Stanley Phillips .     Royal Air Force 83 Squadron (d.21st April 1941)

My mother was married to Ernest Phillips for only a few months before he died in a Hampden bomber raid. My mother had said they were counting planes as the unit returned and had a fear that he was in the missing one(s). She was returned his inscribed burnt out watch that was recovered from the wreckage and which we still have in the family today. They did not have children and my mother re-married in 1942 subsequently producing me and my three sisters. Throughout her life she longed for what would have been if he had not been killed, very sad.




George Francis Phillips .     Air Raid Precautions

My father, George Francis Phillips, was in the ARP (Air Raid Precautions) all through WW2. The ARP post he worked from was in Carshalton, Surrey, on the corner of Sibton Road and Sherbourne Crescent.

One of my dad's good friends at this time was a man whose surname was Haddock. He was also in the Carshalton ARP. I met a Vic Haddock in Brisbane after I migrated to Australia. He was the son of my father's friend. Unfortunately, I lost touch with him.

My father also had the job of collecting chickens and rabbits from bomb- damaged houses in the area. Our whole back garden was a chicken coop! We had special ration tokens to get feed for the collected beasts for which I believe we had to give up egg ration coupons.

The website is paid for out of our own pockets, library subscriptions and from donations made by visitors. The popularity of the site means that it is far exceeding available resources and we currently have a huge backlog of submissions.
