Both my mum and dad volunteered and served during WWII and I have developed an interest in the period. Sadly dad died in October 2003 aged 79 and it reminded me that it would be important to capture the experiences of that generation before it passes. I have some stories and photos from dads service with Guards Armoured Division and will post mums account of her service with the WAAF. Other members of my familly also served in the Far East and at home so I plan to incorporate their stories where possible.
I and my brother and sisters are very grateful to mum and dad for the extraordinary things they did and that despite their experiences proved to be great parents and gave us a loving, caring childhood.
