Looking to make contact with ground echelon veterens

Subject:

Comments:: My name is Malcolm Holland, from England : I was wondering if it would be possible to use the facility of website to post a request. : I’m looking to make contact with any ground-based veterans who were stationed in the UK during WW2 with the 8th Air Force, from any of the Bomb Groups based here. This would include anybody who was involved with the running of any of the camps in any way, from Ground Crew, to Cooks, and from Fire Fighters to Admin Staff. : I’m trying to do some further research, on the ground operations, to fill a gap that so far appears to have been largely overlooked, that of the sterling efforts required ‘behind the scenes’ to keep the bomber offensive going. : I’m looking for any first hand accounts of life on or off duty, from surviving veterans, or memories from more recent generations. I would like to here about any tasks that were carried out, no-matter how mundane, to get a clearer picture of how things were organized and done, especially as there were variations of operational procedure from base to base. : I appreciate that I’m interested in events from over 60 years ago, but there may still be people with memories of this period of our history. : Any help given will be greatly appreciated. : Malcolm Holland : Swindon : England : MAHoll200@aol.com
