Interested in the written evidence of war (archives).
#OTD. This time 43 years ago, I finally ended up on HMS Hermes. My aircraft (848 D Flight) had been lost on the Atlantic Conveyor on 25/5 & HMS Fearless had sent us packing. The Wessex V XT468 of 845 B Flight survived 25/5 but need a crew. So a small element of 848 D Flight went to Hermes to use it.

Now home from my University of Glasgow graduation.
I can now get on with researching old men in the British Army in the First World War. Like me, they have to be over 56.
