The forgotten airfield at Throwley, Faversham, Kent, which existed between 1917 and 1919, was created to aid Britain's coastal defence after the public's fearful outcry in response to Zeppelin raids early in the First World War. With background to the country's history of home defence prior to World War I and the developments that lead to the airfield, such as all Royal Flying Corps fighters having been sent to France in 1914 leaving Britain virtually defenceless, and Churchill's decision to create units of aircraft to aid defence, the book tells the tale of both the airfield and of 112 Squadron, based there to combat the threat.

There have been several books written on the British Army Catering Corps either from the first day of its formation in 1941 and/or all the way through to the Royal Logistic Corps being formed in 1993. Unfortunately some of these accounts were never mass produced.Where did it all begin? The ACC; what was it all about? And how did training develop throughout the years? What did it really involve?With this in mind I set myself a task of tracing ordinary men and women who were trained in Aldershot from Ramillies, Tournai, Clayton and finally at St Omer Barracks. I decided to combine an account of how we, as soldiers became a part of British Army history. The result is what you see before you, a unique look into the lives and memories from the past Army Catering Corps and the present Royal Logistic Corps soldiers. Wrapped within two Volumes are personal anecdotes and a somewhat detailed journey incorporating the history of the Corps through various fields of literature and how it was transformed into a now disbanded part of the British Army. This is the second volume of first-hand accounts from the ordinary men and women who were there. Sometimes poignant, at other times surprising and even humorous; the personal experiences of these soldier's tells the story of the Corps in their own way which is as fresh as their past memories.This second volume falls into place by telling the story of the Corps, just before the end of the 1960's, along with our memories within the chapters. This is a part chronological guide of the Corps, the chapters that shaped and molded the former soldiers to being a "Soldier first, and a Chef second". We Sustain.
