Greetings Accrington Web denizens!

My goodness, it has been several years since I last contributed here - I am glad to see this thread is still alive. I am afraid some of the images and links have disappeared from some postings - the infamous "link rot" you know. I will try to resurrect some of them.

I am now 83 years old and my WWII memories are dimming more and more but I will contribute some more tid-bits if there is any interest. I have unearthed additional information as a result of (now just a few I am afraid) relatives and friends digging up their old memories and sometimes memorabilia - but authentication of information is sometimes difficult - our memories often play tricks on us. On several occasions in the past I have had to correct postings as new or conflicting information came to light. I will keep trying to present accurate information and avoid "old war stories".

James
