Hi there I am trying to find out about my grandfather who served in the RAF in WW2... I hope I am posting in the right area!....
He was always known as 'Bert' in the family but his name was Hubert Alexander Harries born 8th sept 1911, st pancres, he died ion 1976 of a heart attack in camden, london, when I was a very small child, I still have memories of him which I treasure and would love to be able to find out what happened to him during the war.
I was told by an aunt that he was assumed missing in action at one stage however she also told me that when he came home, my gran had found a photo of him with someone else and a new family, I dont know how much, or if any of this is true but I would love to find out!..its a real family mystery!
I dont seem to be able to find any records for him at all and would love to find a service number and try and trace what action he saw, what his role was, where he had been sent. I have no idea where to start, and would very very mmuch appreciate it if you would point me in the right direction.
Many many thanks
Angela
