Thinking of You Always

Lewis Hill was mustered into the RAF in 1941. From the very beginning he wrote home to his wife, Doris, describing his life as an enlisted serviceman. This remarkable record follows ‘Lew’ through his training, life with a balloon squadron in England, his journey to the Middle East on the troopship Queen Mary, service at Eldoret in Kenya, and his career in Egypt.

He returned to England by way of Malta and France, fully expecting to be demobbed at Wythall near Lichfield, but spent a further eight months at RAF Cardington, another demob centre, near Bedford.
