A few items to remember my late father who joined the TA Royal Artillery just before WW2, was mobilised while at annual camp in September 1939 and after serving on AA duties at Duxford during the Battle of Britain decided to transfer to the RAF. Trained in Canada as an Observer he served with Coastal Command in Iceland, the UK and South Africa being commissioned in 1944.
