Jenny Swan "Etta" Turner . Land Army
I am writing on behalf of my Gran who served in the land army during WW2, she will be 90 years in May. I am getting in touch after seeing on the news about women from the land army being recognised and felt I had to do this for her as it was at the time a great passion in her life and one she recalled to us as children, I feel it is the least we can do for her. Her name was Jenny Swan Turner at the time residing at Victoria Crescent, Clarkston, Glasgow

John B. Turner . British Army Leicestershire Rgt. from Worksop
Does anyone know my dad John B Turner? He served in Palestine and Crete as a regular and during WWII. He had a brother Albert in the Leicestershires as well. He was a year younger. Albert died age 23 in 1942. Dad was a year older but lied about his age. He told everyone he was born in 1919 but it was 1920. He told us stories of a dog called Siren who heard enemy planes before the men did. He was wounded and sent to Clatterbridge Hospital in the Wirral, Cheshire. He met my mum, Jean Langley, who was a nurse there. They married in 1944. Dad was from Worksop in Nottinghamshire but stayed in the Wirral until his death in 1991.
John Henry Turner . British Army from Worthing
My grandfather, John Turner (known as Jack) was a PoW in Stalag 383 during WW2. I am not sure of the year he was captured, but he was a PoW for a large part of the war. My mother, his only child, was born in 1938, but the first she remembers of him was when he returned home in 1945, when she was six or just turned seven. She has postcards that he sent her from Stalag 383. I don't know any of the details of his service, and my mother's memory is unreliable now. I do know he was born in 1912, in Westcliffe on Sea, Essex.

Mary Turner . Women's Land Army from Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire
Mary Turner came down from Hebden Bridge to work in the fields down the fen at Swaffham Prior. She stayed in Swaffham Prior House, with all the other land girls, some from Manchester and Liverpool. It was hard work for these girls.
My mum (Mary) met my dad in the village of Swaffham Prior, some of the other girls married local lads too. The girls kept in touch, they had a couple of reunions at Swaffham Prior House, they were invited to go in and look at where they used to live. Life had certainly changed from when they lived there.
