I wrote a post about Mick a few years ago but I've since found a photo so I'll repost on a more relevant forum.
He was engaged to my mum in 1941 before he was posted to North Africa to join 274 Sqdn. RAF flying Hurricanes.
He was shot down and killed on day 1 of Operation Battleaxe whilst attacking German armour advancing on Tobruk. My mum gave him a leather wallet before he left and some time later she got it back, complete with Nazi stamp !
