Not sure about my fathers side but on my mothers side my grandmother served in the RAF Balloon Command. She was the first female from her town, a small scottish place in the borders, to leave. I have a picture on my matlpiece of her in her RAF uniform.
My grandfather, on my mothers side was a dispatch rider in the Royal Signals, and if memory serves me right he served in the 15th Scottish Div in NW Europe. It is something which i keep on meaning to check up on.
As for more up to date my father served in the royal signals for 22 years seeing service all over the world. i suppose that is why i have such an interest in military history.
I attempted to join the RAF a few years back as a pilot but was turned down due to my failing eyesight, so instead i intead to write history.
