Can anyone help with information about Bermuda in !939.I have an ancestor who was there in 1939 but not sure when he travelled there . His name is William Grange known as Frank. It his wife to whom I am related who was Dorothy Anderson born 1904 in Aldershot married William Grange in 1931 in Dover and had a son Donald born in 1932 in Elham Kent . I know they were in Bermuda in 1939 as they sent flowers to her father's funeral and family story has it that they were there with the forces is there a website I could look on for any further information?. Thank you for any assistance you are able to give |

Thank you Vicci but my relative appears to have spent the war in Bermuda so I was wondering if he was in the RAOC |
