The 大象传媒 asked WW2 Members to add a short anecdote on the subject of WW2 Transport.

We asked the following questions:

  • Which of the forces did you join?
  • When were you called up? Were friends of yours called up at the same time?
  • What was the training like? Did your uniform itch? What happened at the dreaded medical?
  • How did your family feel about you heading off to the war?
  • Where was your first posting? How did you get there?

Read members' responses in the forum below.

I was called up in 1952 and I have already jotted down some memories of my two years so I might as well just add the link. I have made contact with my old nco, but unfortunately no one else from my unit.

My apologies...my message about conscription was of course after WW11 and should not be in this category, unfortunately I cannot remove it!
