My father, John Vincent Forster, was in the R.I.A.S.C (and before that the ARP and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Guard) during the war. In 2001 he wrote down some of his stories for Ellie, one of his grandchildren, who was doing a school project. He died aged 82 in December 2003 and I wanted to add his story to this website in his memory.
