Sirs,
I hope this is the correct forum for my enquiry;
My late grandfather was in the RAF. He rarely spoke of it. He said he was a rear gunner on a bomber aircraft, a claim rubbished by some members of the family and believed without question by others.
Is there any way I can find out what his role was in the RAF? His discharge papers were disposed of at his request two years before he passed away. This was not because he wanted them kept secret, but because he saw no further use for them.
I have been told there is a department in the RAF happy to help those with queries similar to mine.
I have his name, date of birth and the address of the house he grew up in.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Warm regards,
Peter
