The Second World War was always something of a fascination to me from an early age, with both my parents being in the RAF. I was not born until 1949 but, when young, built models of tanks and aircraft. The planes decorated the room, hanging from the ceiling, courtesy of my mums cotton and a bit of airfix glue. Then latest on in life I joined the Army and spent 17 years there before surfacing again in Civvy Street at the same time as the personal computer began to emerge. My first pc cost me £900 and had a 108MB HDD and 8MB RAM!! Halycon days! But along came the internet connection and I suddenly realised that I could now research my interest in great detail. The early internet was very very basic and had little or no info on much at all. But as the access grew and companies began to grow online, so did the available space and my own web site began to take shape around 1995 onwards. This is basically the self same site, the domain name has changed twice from kemble.org.uk through www.mikekemble.com to this new one, www.secondworldwar.org.uk which is actually part of my second named site still. After all this time it is inevitable that the site has grown, its occupying approximately 1.5GB on the server at the moment. Anyway, here she is, my new world war two domain with all my information and images and vast amounts of contributions from all over the world, literally. Defence Depts & State Depts have contacted me asking to publish items in journals, I happily agreed. I actually compiled and published a book from my world war research. On A Sailors Grave (No Roses Grow) was published approx 5 years ago by Woodfield Press. This is all done at my own expense in my own free time so any contributions towards site costs would be gratefully received. Anyway - enjoy - Mike Kemble. May 2010.
