Photo of Alex’s grandfather’s wings and his letter:
It says:
Dear Alex,
These wings are the wings of the Army Air Corps (of which the Glider Pilot Regiment were part.)
I was awarded these wings in July 1943 and wore them to
1) go to France on D Day (actually the night before of the 5th / 6th June 1944g
2) go to Arnhem in September 1944
3) to prisoner of war camp in October 1944
4) then back to England in June 1945
So they are 45 years old in July of this year – I have kept them all this time, so I hope you will also keep them.
Love
Grandad.
Have a drink, have a laugh, and have some history. And you just might learn something.
