Having been a Foster child myself & siblings were visited in the Foster home by these social workers throughout our childhood... I'm interested to know of any other children who'd been in care under these people & whats their thoughts on the level of care
I would say get the service records if you can, don`t think you will be disappointed as they tell you so much.Thankyou Welwyn, It will mean a lot to me to see my late Mums WAAF records as it will be another, answer to the many questions I have about her.
When l got my Uncles records for RAF they told me what he was doing from the day he signed up until the day in 1943 that he was listed as Killed in Action, lost without trace.
He was a Lancaster rear gunner with 100 Squadron at Waltham (Grimsby).
Had he survived he would have been 100 next week, sadly forever twenty.
If there is anything you don`t understand on the records there will certainly be someone on here who can help.
Its a fantastic site, good luck, the wait will be worth it.
One of my ancestors was a pilot and I receieved about 6 pages of A3. Lists when he enlisted, NOK training and postings. He was on the Arnold schools program in the states and trained at 5 airfields there. He married a local woman at the last base. Also injured and given sick leave, then medically discharged in 1946. Can then spend hours on google tracking his movements. Finally ended up flying rocket firing Typhoons at Falaise and battle of the bulge. I aso obtained a copy of his Sqn. Operational record book and the commanders diary. On the other hand, you may only get an A4 piece of paper if he was an airman. May have spent the entire war guarding an airfield.Interesting info about your Ancestor, I hope I get more than 1 A4 sheet about my mum 😳
