F/O Richard Parker . RAFVR pilot 100 Sqd. from 8 West Common Gardens, Old Brumby, Scunthorpe Lincolnshire (d.30th Jan 1944) We are trying to find a book where RAF Officer Richard (Dicky) Parker was named during the Battle of Berlin.. He flew Lancasters from Lincolnshire airfields. In the book at one point a crew were coming back with damage and the "Skipper " was asked if they would make if back to the base as he had a pint waiting for him at the Oswald pub in Scunthorpe.. We live in the house where Dicky lived with his parents and sister Jean. we have his service photo we have seen the book through the library but would love our own copy. Can anyone help with the title, author and publication date?

Cpl. Richard John Parker . British Army Welsh Regiment from Wales My grandfather, Richard Parker, known as Dick, was captured by the Nazis in Italy.
He was working with the Italian Resistance and spoke fluent Italian. Unfortunately, his comrade did not, which led to capture.
He was transferred to Stalag IV-B, Muhlberg in 1943. I am currently researching but am aware that his service started before WW2 as he was in Palestine when it broke out. He also served in Crete.
My grandmother did not see him for many years as she had been told he was missing presumed dead, but he was in Muhlberg. It was only after the war had ended she was told he was alive (barely). I believe that when the Red Army liberated in 1945, my grandfather walked to the nearest Allied base, which I do not know about yet.
Any information I can obtain will be incredibly precious.

Fireman. Robert Parker . Auxiliary Fire Service London from Fulham, London Robert Parker, Bob, having been rejected by the army as unfit for duty, volunteered in 1940 to join the AFS, London Fire Brigade, stationed at Lambeth.He served right through the Blitz until his discharge in 1945.
He witnessed some really bad instances, and like many of that
generation he never spoke of the horrors he witnessed.
It was my Aunt who told me that he did suffer nightmares after WW2, mainly as a result of being in the first squad on the scene after the bombing of Gt Ormond Street children's hospital.
That generation was a hard lot, no counselling, no NHS, they just brushed themselves down and carried on, unsung working class heroes the lot of them.
The photo shows my Dad in his full glory in the back garden of his downstairs flat, about 1941 (I start to appear on the left hand side!)

Ivan Parkes . Royal Air Force I am researching what my great uncle and those other brave souls who, with him, went through during World War 2 as a POW of the Japanese. I have tracked down a little information. The problem I have is that no member of my family will speak about it. My ambition with this information is to write a book dedicated to the memories of those who were killed, maimed or psychologically scarred by the Japanese.
My uncle's name was Ivan Parkes. He was in the RAF and was captured (most likely) in Singapore in 1941, though I am not 100 per cent sure about this. He spent a few months in Changi and was transported either to Japan or very close to Japan on one of the hell ships.

A.B. Kenneth Howell Parkes . Royal Navy HMS Pembroke from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire My dad Ken Parkes was on the Arctic Convoys. Upon reading about this it was an amazing and frightening experience. My dad told me the story of a man going overboard into the freezing sea and the next wave bringing him back on board and that is the only story because they never spoke about the war.

He was born on the 22 September 1924 and attended The Priory, a boys’ school at the western end of Banstead village and then Sutton County Grammar School. In 1940 he joined the RAF Voluntary Reserve and spent part of 1942 and 43 training in Canada.

His training completed, Peter joined 37 Squadron in North Africa. At the end of December 1943, the Squadron moved to Tortorella. During the early months of 1944, 37 Squadron was kept busy conducting bombing raids against the enemy, often in an attempt to disrupt supply lines to the front line. In May, roads, railways, marshalling yards and docks were again to be targeted by the Squadron.
Peter Parkes and his crew failed to return from a mission to bomb the Ploetsi oil refinery in Rumania on the 5th May 1944.
