Hi guys
There seems to be some fantastic input through this forum and brilliant help around from those in the know, or with the right gen!
I'm just starting a research project for a media output on my grandfather. We know very little unfortunately of his service during WWII, as, being like many others who served at the time he spoke very little about his efforts.
The little I do know after quite a bit of searching, is his service number, rank and where he was discharged which are as follows;
Ser No: 942476
Rank: Warrant Officer
Discharge location: RAF Hednesford, staffs
He was a born and bred Yorkshire chap, we believe he was RAFVR, and think he was on a Yorkshire based sqn. He was shot down and a POW for four years, and the only thing he referenced to that was having spent some time with Douglas Bader, leading me to think he was either in Stalag Luft III or Colditz? But again, this is purely guess work.
If anyone can help/contribute with anything they may know or think would be a good avenue to go down I would be most appreciative!
Very best wishes,
Reece
