L/Cpl. Edward James Stubberfield . British Army 1st Btn. Kings Royal Rifle Corps from 6 Ormside Street, London My dad, Edward James Stubberfield, was in 1st Battalion Kings Royal Rifle Corps from 1941-1946. We only had bits and pieces of his war as we understand they do not speak of their experiences. He did disobey orders by staying back to remove a casualty and in doing so lost his platoon, which resulted in his mother getting a telegram missing in action. He found his way by linking up with another platoon, for this he lost his stripes. After his death we found in his wallet a photo of his best mate, he had carried it all those years, his words “my mate caught it in the head beside me”
We thought it would be nice if anyone recognises this photo, we have no name but just for his family to know he was not forgotten by my dad.

Sgt. John Henry "Jack" Stubbs . Royal Australian Air Force 21 Squadron from Perth, WA Australia (d.11th February 1942) Combat Report

Blenheim Mk. 4, Z.9823 21 Squadron, was one of a vic. of four which took off from RAF Station Luqa on the morning of 11.02.1942 to carry out a shipping sweep of the Kerkenna Islands.
On returning to base, the gunner in the leading aircraft received by W/T the stand-off signal Air Raid in Progress. The formation circled a point approx. 50 miles south of Malta for 15 minutes, during which time no more stand-off signals were received. The gunner then wirelessed for instructions. The reply was in the form of a Q.D.M. This Q.D.M was followed in until approx. 3 miles from Filfola (sic) when the formation was attacked by enemy fighters and aircraft Z.9823 was shot down into the sea.
A search was made but no survivors could be found. It must therefore be presumed that this crew are Lost at Sea.

W02 Ernie Stubley . British Army Royal Engineers from Misterton Uncle Ernie, Ernest Stubley was 19 when he joined the Army. He enlisted in the Royal Engineers in 1932 at Sheffield, so he was a regular soldier pre-WW2 (and post-WW2). He had a varied army career and when war was declared, he was part of the BEF and served in France. He was at Dunkirk and he was there till the last small boat left, possibly wounded. It is believed he was a Sergeant or NCO at this time in his career. Ernie was evacuated and returned to the UK where he served as a regular soldier until 1954 when he retired with the rank of warrant officer (W02).

Cpl. Cecil Douglas "Bill" Sturman . British Army 465 Supply Platoon Royal Army Service Corps from Lewisham, Kent My father, Cecil Sturman, known as Bill, enlisted at Margate, Kent in 1940. He was a Private on enlistment and became an A/Corporal in 1942. He was in 465 Supply Platoon, a butcher by trade. He was also a driver.
In April 1943 he was posted to North Africa. He was in Rome when it was liberated and remained there at GHQ 2nd Echelon CMF until 1947.
In Rome he was invited to the home of the Risi's, a local Italian family. My grandfather was a chef and they obviously met through the catering aspects of their work. He eventually became their son-in-law, marrying one of the daughters, my mother Elvira.
During the courtship they visited many of the famous venues around Rome such as the Tivoli Gardens, and the Via Appia, often travelling out into the countryside riding bicycles to local beauty spots.
They were married at the Garrison Church All Saints in the Via del Babuino Rome, not far from the Piazza Di Spagna in February 1947. Cecil was posted to the Y list in May 1947, and they returned to England to live.
His military conduct was recorded as Exemplary and he received a brilliant testimonial from the Army which would have been a fantastic reference for employment in civvy street.
Sadly, he was to find out that he had cancer of the hepatic ducts due to medical conditions contracted during his war service. He spent the next few years in and out of hospitals, and died in 1954 when my sister and I were 5 and 6 years old respectively.

RSM. Edwin Sturt . British Army from Edmonton, London I am looking for some details of my Dad's life in the Army as Mum never spoke about his military life to me, his names was Edward Sturt. I know he was stationed in Malta for some of the time and he liked photography as I have found several photos of Malta but no info on any of them. There is also photographic and developing equipment in his Army trunk.
He also had a German Shepherd dog while in the army but not sure where he was stationed at that time. He had signed up for a lot of years but due to my Mum's illness he had to quit the Army much to his disappointment.
He was a trained carpenter/joiner but not sure if he gained those skills prior to joing up.
I also know that he used to do what he called 'square bashing' and had a sargeant major's moustache. I hope someone might know of him although he was born in 1913, so a bit of a long shot.
