Hello to all. After discovering the wealth of knowledge of this forum, I thought I would start by introducing myself. I'm Jake, 24 and I've been interested in history for many years particularly WWII, knowing my grandfathers have served their country for which I am immensely proud. I applied for my Grandfathers WWII medals for him in 2013 and recently received both my Grandfathers and Great Grandfathers service records. My Grandfather was part of the RA and as far as I can tell the HAC. My Great Grandfather was part of the RAOC and a prisoner of war for 3 years in Stalag IIIVB (BAB 20, Heydebreck) This forum has been a wealth of knowledge helping me to unlock and decipher most of their respective service records, but I may require more help and opinions in due time. So for that I would like to say thank you to all members and their contributions over the years.
Hello and welcome to the forum Jake; what a lovely introduction. I look forward to hearing more about your relatives when you find your way around the forum. Any information you require, give us a shout and we will do all we can to help ('cause we're a friendly bunch). Lesley
