Sen.Cmdr.ATS. Naomi Walford . British Army Auxiliary Territorial Service Naomi Walford is a distant cousin of my wife. We have found a citation given by the People of Norway for Naomi's work during the war. We think she may have worked for the translating service, as we have found books that were translated by a Naomi Walford from many foreign publications, in the years after the war. We would just like a little more information about Naomi and her life please.

I believe it was during this time he met his 1st wife Elaine who was a Trinidadian whom I believe he married over there. (I have yet to find proof of this though) and brought her back to the UK in 1945.
He served on:- HMS Royal Arthur 42-43,

- HMS Pembroke Jun 46-Jun46,
- HMS Merlin until discharged Oct 1946.
He did enjoy his time in the Royal Navy, but said the times were hard and he saw things that no man/woman should see, but he never regretted serving for his country.

Alexander George Walker . British Army 5th/7th Btn. Gordon Highlanders from Salford Extract from a letter sent on the 28th January 1944 from Dad, Alexander Walker to Mum:
‘Yes, Edna I have seen the movie Passage to Marseille and I think it is very good. I am hoping to see Bing this week if everything goes to plan… Well, I am sorry to know that you are having bad weather at home, but it’s very bad out here too. Sometimes we get warm, but only sometimes.’
Extract from letter sent 26th September 1945 from Dad to Mum:
‘I have been out with the boys here, and we asked the CO if we could go in for a swimming do at Hanover. It was at the USA MOB. He said No. So we all went on our own, as one of the trucks was going there for wine. Well, we got there and asked the Big Brass Hat out of their MOB if we could go in for it, and he said Yes, but only in one race, breaststroke 4 x man team. We won. We raced six times and beat fifteen teams, six English, and in the final a team from the USA. We won by 25 yards. So we got dressed ready to come back home, when the boys who had won were being given their medals and things so we said we would stay to see what happened. We were called out last and got a lovely Imperial fountain pen with a 14k gold nib. When we got back, we also got a nice drop of whisky from our CO.’

Pte. Cyril Walker . British Army 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards from Forest Town, Mansfield Cyril Walker was my late wife's older brother and our grand daughter is currently doing a school project on WW1/WW2.
We have some of Cyril's service medals and know that after the war he served in Palestine and later in Tripoli where he died. He was a Lance Sergeant and a member of his regiment's speedway team and died whilst undergoing an operation to remove his appendix on 15th November 1950.
Although two of his nephews are still around their detailed memories of Cyril are very sketchy as they were quite young at the time of his death. It would be nice to learn more of his wartime service and involvement.

I had an old telegram saying he was MIA in Italy on Oct 27 1943, but through some research, also found he was a POW here.
