SERGEANT Alexander Chadwick was just 15 when he signed up to serve his country.

But he said serving in Bomber Command in north Africa during the Second World War was "one of the most interesting and fulfilling" times of his life.

Mr Chadwick's tale of time spent as a wireless operator was one of the many told at a 1940s day at Bridgemere Nursery and Garden World yesterday.

The 85-year-old president of the Nantwich branch of the Royal British Legion was one of a number of veterans who gave up their time to talk to members of the public about their experiences.

Around 2,000 people turned up at an event held to raise money for a national campaign to remember the 55,500 Royal Air Force bombers who lost their lives during the Second World War.

Mr Chadwick, of Stonebridge Road, Nantwich, himself lost a number of friends in the conflict.

He told The Sentinel: "We had a bigger loss than any other force and the average age of those who died was 22. Some of them were only 18 - they were still at the start Best Nike Rift Shoes Online of their lives."

Mr Chadwick should have been 18 when he signed up but lied about his age.

He served in north Africa at a variety of staging posts in the desert and feared for his life every day.

He said: "Our country was in a mess and we were in imminent danger of being invaded by the Germans so I wanted to help out. People were Replica Ebel Watches more patriotic back then.

"Being in the bombers was scary, very scary, but later I thought it to be one of the most interesting and fulfilling things I have done.

"You feared for your life all the time but you couldn't show it. Everyone hid the fear."

Mr Chadwick was taken off operations early because his father decided it was too dangerous for someone so young. But he still thinks about the friends he lost and is supporting a campaign by the Bomber Command Association for a memorial in Green Park, London, to honour those who died.

Cards and prints featuring the men at work have been produced to help raise Pounds 3 million for the memorial. A total of Pounds 1.6 million has come in from sales so far and the rest needs to be raised before the end of the year.

the Sam Morgan, managing director of Windsor-based Artique Gallery, which is the publisher of the cards and prints, said: "We have held 47 much events across the country and this has been one of the best. The support has been fantastic."

Author and local historian Derek Inskeep helped boost funds by donating copies of a book he wrote about six men who were killed in the area after their Wellington bomber crashed during Second World War.

The 68-year-old, of Hough, near Crewe, who helped to get a memorial put up close to the crash site at Bridgemere, said: "I had it drilled into me when I was young to respect those who go off to war. I just hope the books help to get the memorial."
