Notes from Warrington, England regarding WWII:
As for the culture shock - yes I guess there were a few surprises for both the Brits and GIs! My parents had a pub in the centre of Warrington at that time and the GIs would ask for cold beer. As far as everybody in the UK was concerned all beer was cold but we didn't realize they meant ice cold! I guess that was a culture shock to both GIs and Brits! I remember when the RAF left Burtonwood and the US took it over. What were dubbed the 'Texas technicians arrived to set up and people would actually stop in the street and stare as the civilian dressed off-duty techs ambled around town in jeans and cowboy boots - we thought Gene Autry and Roy Rogers had arrived! They offered us sticks of gum, which we had never seen so didn't know what to do with them. When the base was operational they had a big parade through town. Lead by a smart stepping military band it was quite a sight - only further along came a band that danced around in formations just like they do at college football games - we were stunned! The GIs we met were wonderful, warm, generous people and, being a pub, we welcomed many into our home as friends.
I well remember going to the U.S. officers mess as a child. My parents had a pub in the centre of Warrington so you can imagine the place was always full and we knew many servicemen. Warrington received allies from America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Poland, Gurkas, Free French, Yugoslavia, and goodness knows where else. We were the central place in the north for army, air force and fleet air as well as marines so it was a very busy place. It was also a major munitions producer with local heavy industries converting to wartime output. We were also a centre for military wounded and I well remember our local indoor swimming pool being covered and used as a hospital where I would go and wind bandages and help. Same thing after Dunkirk when I was taken down to the train station to help and hand out hot drinks and cigarettes to the soldiers who had been rescued from the beaches. Rows of them stunned, dirty,sandy and wounded. In fact, one officer from Ohio whom we got to know well wrote to me after he went to North Africa and continued writing after the war. He never missed my birthday and never missed writing. When I came to Canada I had the thrill of visiting him and his wife and he took me to see his mother who had sent us food parcels during the war. Paid him one more visit before he passed away but he left me with both photos and memories of a very wonderful person.
I have the following facts regarding my father’s military service extracted from his records retrieved from the USAF Historical Research Agency:
• His grade was PFC, Service Arm was AC and his Component was AUS
• His Organization was the 62D Trp Carrier Comd
• His military occupation was an Airplane Mechanic 685
