Eugene Fredrick Pilbean . US Army from Illinois My great uncle Fred Pilbean was captured in France. Imprisoned at Stalag 5A in Southern Germany, Bavaria area. I don't know a lot about him other than in my early childhood. He was a broken man, a chronic alcoholic. But he was also calm and I loved him. He was always pleasant. He lived very poor and died in his 60s I believe back in the 1980s. While people do remember him as a broken man, I remember him as a veteran who endured possibly unimaginable situations and therefore could not judge him on his alcoholism. He never talked about the war, being a prisoner, and we don't even know what medals he may have been awarded.

W/O John H.S. Pile . Royal Air Force 104 Squadron Going through the memorabilia left by my late Mother, I found a collection of WW2 RAF flight documents & notes dating that once belonged to her first husband, John H. S. Pile. He served as a Navigator and there are three excersise books with his Airforce Training School handwritten notes and also the following documents:
Serial No.449
Air Ministry - Meteorological Office
Flight Forecast - Route: UK - Foggia, Track: Via Sete, Aircraft KL635, Time of Departure: 0830, 11th July 1945.
Serial No.221
Air Ministry Meteorological Office and Canadian Meteorological Division Flight Forecast - Route: Blackbushe, Track: Castle Benito, Aircraft Lancaster, Time of Departure: 0800 G.M.T. 3074 1946
[The latter is full of maps and charts (printed, photographed, typed, anotated). Mainly, these pertain to 104 Squadron, included is a typed list of flight personnel for No.37 Squadron, dated 16th April 1946].
Form 441 Navigator's Log Book
This folder contains one Forecast headed: Squadron 37, A/G Number and Letter KL 383X, Captain W/O Porter, Navigator F/S Pile, Date 25/5/45.
Eleven more records Squadron 104 in the header and A/C Numbers, NX729C, NX754T, NX725N, NX740F, NX754J, along with Captains P/O De' Ath, F/O Evans, F/O Philips.
I would guess that John Pile started in 104 squadron, where he served most of his time, was transferred to 148 Squadron (written on the cover of a rather hefty set of maps he left: Air Route Book, From UK To Algiers - Italy - Middle East. which includes a Monthly Supplement for July 1945 before joining 37 Squadron.
Has anyone any further information to share relating to him? I also have three photos of John Pile, which I will need to get digitally copied.

The town today has only about 2,000 people and almost all of them have a link, one way or another, to each other and to our families.

Lt. Ivan George Thornton Pinfield MID.. British Army 1st Btn. Royal Fusiliers from Warlingham I joined in 1939, did basic training at Hounslow, and was then the first wartime volunteer to go to Sandhurst. I was there at the time of Dunkirk. Then I was posted to the Royal Fusiliers (City of London) Regiment, 1st Battalion, 4th Indian Division and we embarked for Suez. I saw action in Eritrea, the Western Desert and Palestine, and was seriously wounded whilst in Syria.
After a year in hospital in Jerusalem (nearly losing my right leg - as well as my life), and convalescence in South Africa, I was shipped back to England where I spent the rest of the war on home defence duties. These included: guarding the oil pipeline to France (Winchelsea), counting buzz bombs as they came over, and operating camp facilities for troops in the New Forest during the invasion period.
Whilst I was at Winchelsea, we made sure that every member of the crew took home a fresh Dover Sole when they went on leave! Top Brass used to visit in the expectation of wonderful hospitality (eg fresh eggs and fish)! The country was still heavily rationed at this time. Finally, as the war ended I had great fun organising open days at Guildford Barracks. I was demobbed and sent up to Olympia to collect a demob suit: these were so awful that the first thing we did when emerging from Olympia was sell the suits for £2.50 to black marketeers lined up outside!
I wish I knew what happened to my unit in Syria after I was wounded, and would love to know their stories.

Bert Pink . British Army I was in 167 Brigade, 56th London Division, in July 1943. The Royal Scots Greys joined our division in Tripoli and we trained for the invasion of Italy. We landed on 9th September at Salerno. Battipaglia fell after hard fighting to the 8th and 9th Battalions of the Royal Fusiliers and 7th Battalion of the Ox and Bucks. It was retaken and we withdrew. It was called "Black Monday", (Monday, 13th September). It was retaken again after fierce fighting and during the next three months the division had over 5,000 casualties in action.

Flt.Sgt. Philip Claude Pink . Royal Air Force 578 Squadron from Sutton, Surrey (d.21st Jul 1944) Because my family (The Pinks) is almost extinct, I am desperate to find out
more about my first cousin, Philip Pink, who was tragically killed in action
at the young age of just 21 while serving with Bomber Command.
Philip was the son of Ada Pink, my father's sister, born in Sutton,
Surrey c1923 but actually brought up by our grandmother, Harriet, to avoid
the stigma associated with illegitimacy at that time.
He was a flight sergeant based at RAF Burn with 578 Squadron and was
killed on 21st July, 1944. I would love to hear from anyone who can remember
him or has any information about him or his wife, Muriel, who he married in 1942, or their baby girl who I think was called Jean.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
