1 (O) AFU 1943 photograph.........
Permalink   


I have a photograph taken November 1943 at Wigtown during Charlie Hill's course, and the image has names on the back.

Please let me know if any of these rings a bell as I'd be interested to know their fates.

 

J Parkinson, Motherwell.

A Hill, Murton.

J Boney, Edinburgh.

Dave Adams, Edinburgh.

A Boyd, Newcastle.

J Stewart, Falkirk.

S Hutchison, Renfrewshire.

 Two others are indistinct;

 J ******, Berwick

Tom M*nfiend? , Scotland

That's the second of the group in the photo who didn't make it through the war the Alan, as Charlie Hill died on August 29/30th 1944 in the Baltic Sea.

There's ten in the photo so I suspect, given the attrition rate, that there'll be a few more.

 

I'll scan the photograph and attach it tomorrow. Many thanks for your posting.

Yes Paul, it might be interesting to see if that heps date the one I have. Sorry for the delay in replying but I didn't see any notification that there had been a follow-up post.

I've been busy trying to find out the fate of the others in the photograph, but thus far AW's finding about Dave Adams is the only one.
