| Thanx for your replies!i am sorry I havent been on but I have to admit that I kinda forgot about this forum.I have no idea when my grandad exactly worked with the AAC as we know very little.My grandad died 24 years but there are so many questions unanswered.I know that he used to be based in Berlin Spandau during worldwar 2 and I know he used to be a RTR before he had the injury that made it impossible for him to serve in active duty and that he worked in Detmold after!I got pictures of him thou!Maybe your wife would recognise his face? | |
