Commons of the United Kingdom, "I have nothing to offer you but blood, toil, tears, and sweat." Dunkirk
Evacuation – May to June 1940
The Battle
of Britain was a military campaign of the Second World War, in
which the Royal Air Force (RAF)
defended the United Kingdom (UK)
against large-scale attacks by Nazi Germany's
air force, the Luftwaffe.
It has been described as the first major military campaign fought entirely by
air forces. The British officially recognise the battle's duration as
being from 10 July until 31 October 1940, which overlaps the period of
large-scale night attacks known as The Blitz,
that lasted from 7 September 1940 to 11 May 1941. Blitz over Swansea |

Private James Farndale, born in 1916 in Stockton on Tees and died on
16 March 1941 (FAR00833). Aged 24 of the West Yorkshire Regiment, James died of wounds on
16th March 1941 in Eritrea. Operation APPEARANCE was a British landing in
British Somaliland on 16 March 1941 against troops of the Italian Army. In
August 1940, seven months previous, the British had withdrawn from British
Somaliland, after it had been invaded by the Italian army. The British and
Empire forces from the United Kingdom, British India, Australia and South
Africa conducting APPEARANCE made the first successful Allied beach landing
of the war and retook the colony. Keren was the last Italian stronghold in
Eritrea and the scene of the most decisive battle of the war in East Africa
in February and March 1941. Guarding the entrance from the western plains to
the Eritrean plateau, the only road passing through a deep gorge with
precipitous and well fortified mountains on either side, Keren formed a
perfect defensive position. On these heights the Italians concentrated some
23,000 riflemen, together with a large number of well sited guns and mortars.
A preliminary assault by United Kingdom and Indian troops was repulsed after
a week of bitter fighting, although they gained and held a valuable position
on Cameron's Ridge, on the left of the road. The final battle began a month
later. After ten days of gruelling combat the Commonwealth troops succeeded
in forcing their way through the seemingly impregnable defences on the ridge
and finally through the 200 metre long road block which the Italians had
blasted at the narrowest point in the pass. Keren was taken on 27 March. The
defeated Italian force retreated in some disarray to Asmara, which fell to
Commonwealth forces on 1 April, and the Italian surrender was taken at the
port of Massawa on 8 April. KEREN WAR CEMETERY contains 440 Commonwealth
burials of the Second World War, 35 of them unidentified. The KEREN CREMATION
MEMORIAL stands within the cemetery and commemorates 285 Sikh and Hindu
soldiers from India and Pakistan killed on the Keren battlefield during the
Second World War, whose remains were cremated in accordance with their faith.
Three East African soldiers are also commemorated on the memorial. James is
buried at Keren War Cemetery, Grave Reference 3.A.3. (Inscribed Beloved Son
of James and the Late Margaret Farndale, God Grant him eternal rest).

Emergency Build Programme. She was completed in April 1941. She was
adopted by the civil community of Southgate, then in Middlesex, as part
of Warship Week in 1942. She earned eleven battle honours for extensive service
during the Second World War. This included service in the Mediterranean where
she was severely damaged in February 1942, and resulted in extensive repairs
in the UK that year. She then saw service with Russian convoys, followed by
work to support the allied landings in Italy. Towards the end of the war she
was nominated for service in the Far East in support of Operation Zipper for landings in Malaya, which was cancelled with the end of the
War. |

June 1944 – D Day landings 1824896 Sergeant Bernard Farndale (FAR00783),
115th Squadron RAF, was killed in action over Denmark, 30 Aug 1944 On
the night before 30 August 1944 nearly 600 RAF bombers flew over Denmark on
bombing raids to Königsberg and Stettin. Particularly the planes for Stettin
were attacked by German night fighters, when they were passing the northern
part of Jutland and the Kattegat. LAN ME718 was hit and flew for a moment
through the air before it crashed like a burning torch at Oue (about 400 m
west of Rinddalsvej in Denmark). All of the bomb load exploded on impact. All
of the crew were killed. The
Germans did not want to collect the human parts and left them in the field.
The locals were abused by this behaviour and collected the remains in
wickerwork baskets. The Wehrmacht ordered the Danes to hand the baskets over,
and these were thrown in the crater at the crash site and covered it. When
the Germans had left the area, the locals together with members of the Civil
Air Defence opened the crater and placed the remains in a coffin which was
driven to Ove church. Education
Act 1944 (The Butler Act) established tripartite education system of grammar
schools, secondary modern schools and technical
schools. |
