My Great Grandfather

A Memory of Caterham.

My father was born into a large army family and became very connected to Caterham barracks and was a ground engineer for the 615 squadron at Kenly aerodrome during world war II. My dad was born in 1914 and by the age of thirteen was living at the barracks with 12 other siblings. His father was a Sargent and his grandfather was an army architect that helped with some of the builds within the barracks including the barracks swimming pool. We have very old regimental photo of my grandfathers regiment and my father with the 615 squadron.... Caterham is my home town and I find myself a long way from it now... I miss it.
