We have only just discovered, through the very prompt and thorough efforts of CART’s Andy Gwynne, that my father, Philip Dawson, was a member of an Auxiliary Unit in the North East of England. None of the family, not least my mother who was married to him for over 55 years and who is now 91, had the faintest idea that this is in fact what he did during the war. We were astounded and thrilled to make the discovery. Phil was a lovely man – gentle and modest and a much loved father and grandfather. That he turns out to have been a bit of an unsung hero into the bargain is icing on the cake. Thank you so much and good luck in your work. You’ve made one family very proud.
