Hi Patricia, I was unable to find you grandfather's signature on the serviette. In fact, now that I have looked at it again, there are only one or two RAF signatures on it, most of them seem to be local Belgians and mainly women at that, typical of my grandfather ! I do not have any names for...

Hi Patricia, I will dig the serviette out and see if I can see your grandfather's signature. Did he complete his training at RAF Odiham, as most did ? If so I have some group photographs that were taken in about 1942-1944. I also have one of the RAF choir in Wevelgem, which my grandfather...

Hi Rachel, I am pleased that you found your father on the pictures, I hoped you would. My grandfather is 6 to the left of your father on the last picture and second row from the back, second on the left, on the second photo. They must have been in the same section and have known each other. I...

Hi Clifford Thank you for your message. My grandfather was posted to Wevelgem, around the same time, but arrived around November, I believe, as he caught mumps and had to spend some time in hospital, in Blankenberg, before re-joining the unit. I still have a large part of his tool kit, which he...

Hi All, I have a photograph of the 151FRU unit choir, taken at Wevelgem, circa 1945. My grandfather is second row from the back in the centre. The choir was conducted by Donald Steer, seated front row centre, with glasses. I also have a photo, taken at RAF Odiham, I believe the choir was...

Hello, My grandfather, Charles Frank Cavell, 1913-1999, was stationed at Wevelgem from the autumn of 1944. He was at the party given for the 2000 children on Christmas day 1944. I think all members of 151 FRU were presented with one of these certificates, there can't be too many copies left in...
