I mentioned this in the D-Day anniversary thread (
75th anniversary of the D Day invasion 2019) because my father said he went over with the US forces on D-Day as part of a small group of RAF personnel in order to set up mobile radar sites as it was expected the landing forces would be hit hard by the Luftwaffe. Unfortunately, he passed away in 1989 so I can't ask him the things I want to, but he told both my mother and myself that he shared a tent with someone who went on to become a famous Welsh opera singer. After a little reseach, I believe that singer was Sir Geraint Evans. My father's name was Thomas Kerr.
It would mean a lot to me if I could find out more about my father's service, but living on the other side of the planet from Kew I don't know how best to carry out my research of my father's service. If anyone has tips, please let me know, and
vimhawkraf, would you mind if I PM you? Thank you.
