Trying to find war airmen who lost touch in 1945

This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today, and has been written by our American colleagues. It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald.

I live on part of a former World War 2/Early Cold War radar base.

I have so far managed to track down 14 former World War 2 WAAFs who served here and around 35 1950s airmen and a couple of officers.

I have managed to put WAAFs back in touch who lost touch in 1945 and airmen back in touch who have not seen each other since 1955, in one case a gentleman and his best man.

For me this is a national and international search for all former veterans and their family members.

Without your support my ability to reach veterans is greatly limited.

I am really greatful for any help you can offer me with getting the word out.
