Stan Fraser was posted overseas to Malta before the end of the Battle of
Britain and later commissioned in the Middle East before returning to
north-west Europe towards the end of the war. Demobbed in 1946, he
rejoined his pre-war firm of paint manufacturers in Liverpool, and
eventually ran his own business in north Wales. He lives there still. Sid

Italy and then joined the SAS in north-west Europe. He survived the war.
Norman Field also later served in the airborne forces in North Africa and
Italy, although having recovered from his wound at Dunkirk, he was
initially recruited to join and develop the Auxiliary Units in Kent, a
