William John Turrell . British Army 1st Battalion Royal East Kent Regiment from Bromley, Kent My uncle Bill - William John Turrell was born in 1919, Bromley Kent. I have been told he was with the royal east kent regiment (the buffs). Sadly, my uncle passed away in 1983. He never really spoke of the war days, but I guess, knowing what I know now, I can see why he never spoke about things.
I have just been given a photo of my uncle. I believe the photo was taken in a prison of war camp in september 1944 at Molln, I believe that this was in Pupping Austria, camp number Stalag 398. His POW number was 155006.
My uncle Bill is the big man in the centre of the back row, I don't know who the other men are but it would be nice to find out.

Pte John William Turton . British Army 6th Btn York and Lancaster Regiment from Ilkeston Derbyshire (d.3rd September 1944) Whilst researching for a school project with my son, we discovered that my great Uncle, John Turton, had nearly escaped his fate in Crete, Greece in 1944. John served with the 6th Battalion, York and Lancaster Regiment in WW2. He had permission of leave for a cut on his arm that had turned septic.
However, he did not want to be known as a coward so he left Ashton Street in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, waving goodbye to his mother, father and two sisters and was never to return home again.
He was shot in the throat and died almost instantly on 3rd of September 1944. One thousand eight hundred and eighty seven men died there.
John was 19 years old. Today he lies in Italy at the Coriano Ridge War Cemetery, and it is now a place that my son and I wish to visit to pay our deepest respects. He is remembered on the Cassino Memorial in Italy. Son of Thomas Turton, and of Isabella Turton, of Wrekenton, Co. Durham.

Daphne Joan Tuyl . British Underground My Mother, Daphne Joan Tuyl, organised the first British underground in Algiers and used to visit the prisoners at Laghouat to obtain information which she passed on to the secret service. She was ideally suited as her father was chaplain to the Fleet before the war and his widow, my grandmother, lived in Algiers. My mother's husband at this time was a Dutch national who before the war farmed a small oasis with my mother called Cora near Biskra in the desert. When war started, although a pacifist, he went back to fight for his country. My mother moved into her mother's apartment with my two brothers where she was approached by the British Consul to collect information. I also have a set of colour prints of drawings done by one of the inmates. She was awarded the King George the Fifth Medal for Courage and the Médaille de la France libérée.

Aharon Tuzman . Soviet Polish Army from Zaklikow, Poland Aharon Tuzman was born in 1915 in what is now Zaklikow, Poland.
At age 8, he sold sweet buns warm from the family's oven on the village streets to make a little money.
After the Nazis invaded Poland, his widowed mother, Symma, told him to take his brother, Maier, and flee. Bribing a farmer with two bottles of vodka, the two young men crossed the Soviet border buried inside a hay wagon. They covered their mouths so as not to cry out when border guards stabbed the hay with pitchforks. the two brothers were captured by the Russians and sent to a Siberian labor camp because they were escapees. When a call went out for men to serve in the Soviet Polish Army, Aharon Tuzman volunteered. Rising to the rank of chief quartermaster, he not only saved his and his brother's lives, but also smuggled supplies to Jewish survivors of concentration camps. After the war he moved to the USA and was known as Arnold Tuzman.

Sgt. Ronald James Tweats . Royal Air Force My Dad Ronald Tweats was shot in the head on the way back home after a bombing mission. The Wellington bomber was attacked and was damaged enough so that most of the men bailed out. He was injured and so he and the pilot went down with the plane. It crash landed and both he and the pilot were safe. My Dad was then in hospital. On the next mission his entire crew and plane went missing. I am here today because he was shot in the head. We had my Dad's helmet but he gave it to my cousin who did not value it. He traded it for something many years ago. If anyone knows of an RAF helmet from WW2 with a bullet hole in the temple, please let me know I am looking to have it back in our family. This means a great deal to me.
