Hi I have a photo of a relative who I presume worked for the US armed forces in WWII, based on a photo he appears in and text on the reverse of the photo. I would love to identify the unit (I assume air force from the uniforms but could be wrong). What I know is the following: The picture was taken in the UK in 1945 It was possibly taken in the Midlands region of the UK The text suggests he was involved in liaison (he was a German speaker so this could have been part of his duties). The text reads: "US liaison [his initials] 22/75 Group M.K." It is quite possible he remained a civilian throughout his involvement with the US armed forces: He was not a US citizen He once mentioned military police but I don't know if this relates to the pic below I have attached the front and reverse of the picture (only obscuring his initials and removing his image - he was topless so can't tell if he was ever uniformed). Any help appreciated. Thanks!
Was he a liaison with (to) the RAF? Would need much more to dig deeper. Name, other photos that show him in uniform, ribbons etc.
Sound that way. No. 22 Group was a RAF training unit, if my memory is correct. But I don't recall a 75 Group.
Given the consensus that these are RAF uniforms, I suspect he was employed by the RAF to coordinate with US foces in some respect
Found some information that leads to RAF police training that coincides with 22 Training Group after the war. (Takao always leads the way! ) Stationed in Netheravon Airfield. I'm on a tablet and haven't figured if/how to copy links. You might try googling ww2 RAF police training and Netheravon Airfield. By the way, howdy to the forum Howdy.
A passing thought if a German speaker: Wavendon - Wikipedia "Wavendon Tower is a large country house with substantial modern additions on the edge of the village. During the Second World War it was used as a recording studio for black propaganda" Edit: And Bletchley in the area, of course. Though it's just as likely to be taken at a public pool or park & the RAF training area certainly fits.
