(National Probate Calendar) Information from Forces War Records sent by John TERRY 1/11/2014 First Entry First Name: Eric Guy Initials: E G Surname: BOUND Nationality: British Date of Death: 25/08/1942 Rank: Sergeant Service Number: 1269297 Campaign Medals: War Medal 1939-1945 As with most Armed Forces Serving Personal during the conflict of World War Two, Eric Guy BOUND was entitled to the War Medal 1939-1945. This medal was awarded to all full time service personnel who had completed 28 days service between 3rd September 1939 and the 2nd September 1945. Eligible personnel who had been “Mentioned In Despatches” during the War were entitled to wear a bronze oak leaf emblem on the ribbon. Those eligible for a campaign star, yet who had their service cut short by death, wounds or capture by the enemy, still qualified for this medal. 1939-45 Star Given the information available to us it is likely that Eric Guy BOUND was awarded the 1939-45 Star for operational Service in the Second World War between 3rd September 1939, and 2nd September 1945. Eric Guy BOUND would have been awarded this star if their service period was terminated by their death or disability due to service. Also the award of a gallantry medal or “Mention In Despatches” also produced the award of this medal, regardless of their service duration. Fighter Aircraft Crew who took part in the Battle of Britain (10 July to 31 October 1940) were awarded the "Battle of Britain" bar to this medal. In undress uniform, a silver-gilt rosette was worn on the medal ribbon to denote the award of this clasp. Service: Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve Regiment: Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve during World War 2 Formed: 1936 The RAFVR was formed in July 1936 to provide individuals to supplement the Auxiliary Air Force (AAF) which had been formed in 1925 by the local Territorial Associations. The AAF was organised on a Squadron basis, with local recruitment similar to the Territorial Army Regiments. Initially the RAFVR was composed of civilians recruited from the neighbourhoods of Reserve Flying Schools, which were run by civilian contractors who largely employed as instructors members of the Reserve of Air Force Officers (RAFO), who had previously completed a four year short service commission as pilots in the RAF. Navigation instructors were mainly former master mariners without any air experience. Recruits were confined to men of between 18 and 25 years of age who had been accepted for part time training as Pilots, Observers and Wireless Operators. The object was to provide a reserve of aircrew for use in the event of war. By September 1939, the RAFVR comprised 6,646 Pilots, 1,625 Observers and 1,946 Wireless Operators When war broke out in 1939 the Air Ministry employed the RAFVR as the principal means for aircrew entry to serve with the RAF. A civilian volunteer on being accepted for aircrew training took an oath of allegiance ('attestation') and was then inducted in to the RAFVR. Normally he returned to his civilian job for several months until he was called up for aircrew training. During this waiting period he could wear a silver RAFVR lapel badge to indicate his status. By the end of 1941 more than half of Bomber Command aircrew were members of the RAFVR. Most of the pre-war pilot and observer NCO aircrew had been commissioned and the surviving regular officers and members of the RAFO filled the posts of flight and squadron commanders. Eventually of the "RAF" aircrew in the Command probably more than 95% were serving members of the RAFVR. During 1943, the decision was taken by the Air Ministry to raise an order for members of the RAFVR to remove the brass and cloth 'VR's worn on the collars and shoulders of officers and other ranks (respectively), as these were viewed as being divisive. No similar order was raised for members of the Auxiliary Air Force, who retained their 'A's on uniforms at that time.

Air Crew Europe Star The Air Crew Europe Star Campaign medal of the British Commonwealth was awarded to E G BOUND for service in World War Two. This medal was awarded to Commonwealth aircrew who participated in operational flights over Europe, from UK bases or for operational flying from the UK over Europe, between the period 3rd September 1939 to 5th June 1944. The recipient E G BOUND would have been awarded this star if their service period was terminated by their death or disability due to service. The award of a gallantry medal or “Mention In Despatches” also produced the award of this medal, regardless of their service duration. Service: Royal Air Force Station: raf snaith RAF Snaith during World War 2 Formed: 1941 RAF station Snaith was designed in March 1940 with construction commencing later that year. The northern boundary was formed by the A545 and the southern side by the Great Heok to Pollington Lane. The three intersecting concrete runways measured 1,400 yards for the main and 1,100 yards each for the subsideries although these were extended in the summer of 1941: the main 14-32 to 2,000 yards, 07-23 to 1,400 yards and 09-27 to 1,100 yards. A Type J and two Type T2 hangars were erected on the technical site. The usual 36 pan-type hardstandings were accessible from the encircling perimeter track. The camp, south-east of the flying field, provided for a maximum of 2,016 males and 394 females. The bomb stores, a series of blast mound protected revetments, lay in fields to the west on the opposite side of the airfield from the main technical site and it was here that a disasterous explosion took place on June 19, 1943. The airfield was first assigned to No. 1 Group and received No. 150 Squadron and its Wellingtons from Newton in July 1941. The squadron participated in Bomber Command main force operations from Snaith until October 1942 when the station was turned over to No. 4 Group and No. 150 Squadron moved out to Kirmington. No. 51 Squadron, having been on loan to Coastal Command at Chivenor, retrained on Halifaxes which it operated from Snaith right up until the end of the war flying 264 raids and losing 148 aircraft. In January 1944, its `C' Flight was used to form No. 578 Squadron which, as was usual procedure, moved into a vacant airfield, Burn, after its first few operations. No. 51 Squadron was transferred to the permanent station at Leconfield a few days after the last No. 4 Group bombing operation took place on April 25, 1945. A total of 205 bombers were lost from Snaith, 57 being Wellingtons of No. 150 Squadron. In the following weeks little flying took place from Snaith until a Beam Approach Flight arrived with Oxfords in September. By the following spring, the RAF presence was no more than a care and maintenance party and this, in time, was withdrawn. Like many wartime airfields, Snaith languished unused with a little demolition during 1950s but thereafter a more rapid reduction occurred. In the 1970s, the M62 motorway link between the Midlands and the Humber bridge sliced through the northern part of the flying field south of Snaith itself. Nevertheless, at the end of the 20th century much still remains including the MT sheds and the Sergeants' Mess still complete with its brick fireplace.
