Frederick James Wright (‘Fred’ to his friends and family) was born in the Potteries, Staffordshire. An unassuming individual who never forgot his roots, he devoted his life towards his family after undergoing the most hazardous of journeys as a young man during the challenging and difficult war years between 1939 and 1945.
This book tells the story of those war years when Fred served in a largely forgotten unit, the RAF Servicing Commandos. While history tends not to remember what those men did, their efforts were crucial to the success of D-Day and the ultimate outcome of the war.
Fred’s journey, from the Potteries to the beaches of Normandy and the jungles of Burma, provides a fascinating and inspiring insight into one man’s contribution to the Second World War, and the significant and vital role they had in the victory of the Allies.
