My father, Arthur George Cox (known as George) was born in 1912 in Birmingham, England and he died in 1985 also in Birmingham. He joined the RAF in September 1940. He was in Canada from April 1942 until July 1944.

During WW2 my mother Phoebe worked in the Castle Bromwich (Birmingham) factory that produced most of the spitfires ever built.

After WW2 George married Phoebe and they had four sons and a daughter. He has numerous grandchildren and an ever increasing number of great grandchildren.

George's father, Sergeant George David Cox, was killed in action on April 11th 1917 in the Battle of Arras. George Cox had fought on the western front from 1914 until they finally got him in an artillery barrage. He was in the 1st Bn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment.

While preparing dad's introduction I remembered dad's service and release book so I dug it out and I thought you might like to see this scan of the centre pages of his book.
