Description

Photograph of Ernest Naldrett, training in Texas. Front and back. (2 images)

Context

The back of the photograph reads "Deep in the heart of Texas, June1942". This is therefore likely to be a picture from Ernest Naldrett's time in training under the Arnold scheme in Canada and USA. Ernest was Henry Naldrett's older, and only, brother. It is believed that Ernest went on to serve as a bomb aimer on 15 Squadron at RAF Mildenhall. He survived the war. Donated by Owen White and Catlin LLP Solicitors on behalf of the Naldrett family.
