My Grandad with Horsar - a sort of glider
By Gateshead Library
Unit name: 177 Squadron
Background to story: Royal Air Force
Although my Grandfather never talked about the war as so many did not, after he passed away he left his photo album, which in a sense told a lot of the story for him.
Through some of the place names I can trace to some extent where he was stationed through the war.
Places like Feni, Pagan, Phapamau, Nainital and Allalabad all names that meant nothing to me but for the simple reason that they were the names written under the photo's in the album.
A lot of the photos are of groups of men with my Grandfather presumably the men he served with, it would be great to get in contact with some of them to see what they could tell me and maybe tell the story that my Grandfather never did.
