Excellent idea. I look forward to reading Grandpa Mengeles diary.
My error but it was 6DM to the pound in 1973.Eh? 1977 it was about 4DM to the £.
Unless some bastard was ripping me off.
Well as long as you're not bothered about what a bloke you've never met, in a capbadge youve never served under, may or may not have done that's fine.Looking forward to Vol 1 of the epic trilogy "I Threw My Hat Into The Ring" by @Bravo_Bravo

Was it a hard slog finding it? My family know next to nothing about my Great Uncle's service (Lancaster crew). I found out a bit more just through Google but would love a crack at getting some more detail.I have recently managed to write about my father's war from his pilot's logbook, squadron records from National Archives, other WW2 sources including memoirs, campaign accounts and internet, some of which actually gave details of Luftwaffe sorties enabling the ID of German pilots who shot down individuals in father's squadron. There is an amazing amount of detail available, but I wish I had asked him more questions.
I'll swap it for "The Dogshit Guide To Common Office 365 Problems" if that's ok, yah?Make sure I get the hardback editions.
And don't forget to sign them"...to my very good friend, dogmeat of Arrse".
Clippety Klop...As you're not bothered about his post.
At all.
Not one little bit.
Triggered is the word.
That's original.Clippety Klop...
As the third most triggered oke om the site, you speak of irony in relation to your posts...The irony bypass surgery has been a complete success I note.
Well as long as you're not bothered, dear.That's original.
Though for whom the defence is I don't know.

We actually have a letter written by the night fighter pilot who shot down my Grand dads aircraft courtesy of a researcher at work. Retired Dentist from Munich (still doing extractions I imagine) and awful hand writing.I have recently managed to write about my father's war from his pilot's logbook, squadron records from National Archives, other WW2 sources including memoirs, campaign accounts and internet, some of which actually gave details of Luftwaffe sorties enabling the ID of German pilots who shot down individuals in father's squadron.

I was rather pleased with it myself to be honest.That's original.
True.Well as long as you're not bothered, dear.
My Grandfather too, although he never made the final whistle as he got wounded (shot 6 times) at Beaucourt. Funny though...His name was Tommy .Well personally, I wish my mums old fellah had written his war stories down ( RND , from Antwerp to the final whistle via Gallipoli ) but as with so many of his generation it was his and his alone to deal with. The only time time he brought it up was when he was in his cups, and would only ever talk about the loss of his best mate Tommy and then only to talk about he closeness they shared and how sad he still was over the loss. He eventually shuffled off this mortal coil in 1967 ( was about 4 ) but no one knows anything of his experiences. I think old timers have a duty to make sure the next generations know. Theres no history quite as interesting as hearing it from those who were there
I don't actually know where Tommy in question met his end mate.. but grandad was 193 MG coy 1st Hood Bn RND. He was certainly at Beaucourt tho...My Grandfather too, although he never made the final whistle as he got wounded (shot 6 times) at Beaucourt. Funny though...His name was Tommy .
