Deere-est Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 My Pop (Dad's father) has just had his book published :) It's his memoirs of WWII during his SOE (predecessor to SAS) campaign in Italy with the Italian Resistance against the Nazi forces. I'm very proud of him :'( It's called The War in Italy, 1943 to 1945 if you see it. Not sure of release details etc yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father served in the SOE also in Italy and North Africa (and sundry ither places) and I cannot find much info on them. His RAF service record just says "on seconded duty" but I have his sleeve badge and the stories he used to sometimes tell. He actually never spoke much about it so I really only got hints here and there. I found out a little more after he died. Perhaps Pop knew my father?

fendt-man-matty Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 finding out "The Great Escape" is on sunday yessss ;Db !!!!! my dads uncle tom who is my great uncle but ive been brought up to call him just uncle tom. he was in the navey in the 2nd WW, and he was torpedoed (spelling) i think it was about 1-2 days before hitler was killed. which was just WEEKS before the end of the war :'( very sad story because, before he was killed he took my granda to the pub for my grandas birthday then my granda went up to the docks to leave him off, becuase Tom volunterred to go on the ship to fill in for someone who was sick. and he said to my granda, ernie you know i wont be coming back and apparently sailors have a feeling when they will die in war. really sad story, granda still hasnt got over it! thats the story of my uncle Tom \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
