Bayonet Drill

… or having a bit of a problem taking life seriously

“Yours Truly!”

Harvard Aircraft No. 114 in April 1942 at Craig Field, Alabama, USA, solo. Pure coincidence, but wind the time line on and this chap’s nephew who also bears his name, becomes Constable 1104 in March 1972.

These are both on and off duty, on the flight line, at the USAAC Craig Field, Alabama, the USA in 1941-1942. Leading Aircraftman Webb (L.A.C.) is a student pilot, and he stands behind the Boeing Stearman Kaydett Biplane, the initial trainer. Ken’s informal photo indicates the chocks for the wheels, hence it is reasonable to assume that the flight line was fairly close to living quarters.

These two images were found, with a miniature, with a bundle of letters from Ken Webb to home. They would have come from Cleevemount. They are not in date order.

Ken would write the day and the time only. This would also be in accordance with KRs (King’s Regulations) regarding security.

Put these letters into date order as dates become apparent. This Archive comprises all of Ken Webb’s (KEW) letters home from 1941-1943.

Wartime Letters from Kenneth Ernest Webb (Uncle Ken) to his parents and family 1941-1942.

Transcripts of Letters written in both pencil and fountain pen, some are enveloped.

Most are during RAF initial training at RAF Torquay in 1941, shortly before embarking for the USA for pilot training.

Grandma (Mrs. Isabel Alice Webb) has, occasionally, marked letters in green ink with the full date, occasionally signing off as I.A.W. It is moving to see Grandma’s initials in her own hand, as I remember Grandma doing this often, especially the tendency to write the capital A for Alice as a very large lowercase A.

As I transcribe, I believe that I shall be able to find the date order.

The initial bundle of letters that has provoked this Archive record for K.E.W. is intended to record all of Uncle Ken’s letters home until they end in April 1943.

In this initial bundle, I’ve also spotted two formal letters, so it may be pertinent to include all correspondence, both personal and official. This would, therefore, also take into account all post-death correspondence with Grandma and Grandad up as far as 1947 when, so far as I can tell, Ken’s RAF record is then signed off and sent to the RAF’s central records archive.

This principle lends itself to doing exactly the same with Uncle Harry’s correspondence, which also goes up to 1947. In Harry’s case, we end with a moving newspaper article in 1947 that appeared in the Gloucestershire Echo, when the bodies of the Payne Crew were successfully located and interred at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Cemetery at Durnbach, Bayern. The family will be interested to learn that Dürnbach lies west on the same latitude, just 73 miles from Salzburg, Austria, and 63 miles northeast of Innsbruck, Austria.

Transcripts by his nephew, Kenneth Thomas Webb ~ Summer 2022

Ken often uses full-stops in place of commas, so I’ve transcribed those accordingly as, otherwise, the computer spell-check has a hissy-fit. The full stops in place of commas also suggest that time is of the essence, i.e., Uncle Ken was writing whenever he had a free moment but had to be swift in so doing.

As an aside, I’ve not seen it before, I’ve always signed my name, formal and informal, with a long diagonal line upwards from left to right. It is a great joy to see that Ken does the same. Some may ask, so what? Good question.

But the more I watch the various episodes of Who Do You Think You Are, there is much more in our genes and DNA than we can ever fathom. Clearly, tendencies, even mannerisms, stretch back through our ancestors, century upon century, and commonly a thousand years and more, just for starters.

1315766. AC2. WEBB. KE. B flight, 3 Squadron. 5ITW., RAF Torquay Saturday 6 pm

Dear Mum.

I have at last finished with the receiving wing at Babbacombe and I’m now a fully-fledged AC2 at Torquay. We are now all complete with uniform etc. and have white flashes in our caps to show we are training to be officers, i.e. we are cadets. They certainly train us as if we are officers. This morning we had to march 6 miles here to Torquay and you have to obey every order, keep all things clean and polished, beds all folded in a special way boots polished plus kit laid out. The food is very good. Today we had roast beef, Yorkshire puddings, beans spuds and milk pudding.

You will be pleased to hear I now eat anything I have got such an appetite. Our civvies were collected yesterday and should reach you in the next two weeks.

I received your letter and I’m very glad to hear you and you are all going on okay. I even feel sorry for you as you can’t have a great big piece of butter for two slices of bread. We have something hot with all our meals.

Well I don’t think you will be hearing from me more than once or twice a week as we are to go on a very intensive course of study in Maths, navigation most by sound and sight, recognition of 80 different planes, law and administration and hygiene, PT, sport and other subjects all of which we have exams for and in which we must get at least 80%. If we don’t we are  OUT  . The officers have all told us that to pass we shall have to study every night for two or three hours. As we get up at 6 am and finish lectures etc., at 6 pm we are going to have a very busy time. Still I am going to have a good shot at passing. Well I am still enjoying it so cheers for now

Love to all

Ken.

PS this is my new address.

The above letter is in a small envelope addressed to Mrs H Webb 25 Windsor Street, Prestbury Road, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, and there’s a postage stamp in old money tuppence-ha’penny, King George VI

Letter 2

The following letter is written in pencil and bears the same address, written on Wednesday at 2 pm. It reads as follows:

Dear Mum, very many thanks for letter of yesterday and parcel of today which was another very pleasant surprise. Also for 2/6d [two and six pence] which will come in useful as I have to get instruments etc., for navigation exam.

[The value of £1 in 1941 was £100 in today’s currency. So two shillings and sixpence [2/6d] was equivalent to £25 today. Hence, Uncle Ken being able to buy navigation instruments. KTW 22.7.2022]

Well everything is still going on okay and every day draws nearer to leave. I have heard nothing more about posting abroad or home and when we shall get leave. However we start our exams on week next Monday so I shall probably be home sometime at the end of that week which is the week of Arthur‘s wedding, but as I say I may not be home until the end of that week. I am getting on okay in the lectures and I can say that no subject really gets me down, which is something. I am still in the attic but have got quite used to it by now. I have just about got rid of the stiffness left by the 5 mile run, but now they tell us we have got to do it again this Saturday, but at a quicker pace, although we broke the record last week. We haven’t had our 14 mile route-march yet, but they will probably spring it on us soon. I will try to write to Phyllis as soon as poss.’, but I shall be very busy from now till I come home as we have to swot up all we have learnt, and that’s quite a bit.

How is Des now and dad and you of course. I hope everything is still going alright at home, how is Rex these days? I often wonder if he will know me.

It’s funny that all the chaps talk about is their leave these days, although when they first came they said how glad they were to get away from the “dead holes“ where they have been living. It’s strange how you miss a place especially home. I think Cheltenham will probably seem like a paradise when I get back, although I don’t think I shall ever go back to a boring office job after this. I should soon go mad with boredom. The weather is still bad, it’s raining this very minute. Well mum, as I said nothing much has happened lately so there isn’t much to tell you, so once more thanking you all for cake and money till next time

Yours

Ken

Dear mum dad and all,

At last I have got a few minutes to let you know all the news! By the way, if you have not already done so please do NOT write until I send you my new address as I shall be leaving this place at the end of the week, and we have been asked not to have post sent to us, while we are here.

As I told you by card, I had to stand all the way to Torquay as the train was packed. Altogether 1,200 of us arrived here Saturday so you can tell they have their work cut out. The train was four hours late and we got here at 8 o’clock. We were all bundled into lorries and sent to a place where they kept us till 10.30 filling up forms and giving us our ration books etc.,. Most of this time was spent waiting. Then we had some supper, cold tongue and lettuce and cocoa then some drill and then a short talk by the sergeant allotted to take charge of our flight (55 men) who told us that we were on an accelerated course which normally took two weeks but would only take us one. He said that by the end of the week we would be wishing he have never been born, but we should be thankful to him later on. He really is a tartar for drill but he’s quite a decent chap really he is the only sergeant who makes his squad swing their arms to shoulder height when marching but I really enjoy it.

Well the food isn’t a patch on yours, but it’s not bad really and there is plenty of it. We have our uniforms issued this morning, that we are not allowed to wear it, and also some of our kit. The inoculation is tomorrow and then we take things a little easier for 48 hours. I have made it up with quite a lot of chaps summer from Cheltenham who I know. It is very lovely down here not too hot either. Well I will write again in a day or two, as we have to be in bed at 10 and up at 6:30 am. Breakfast is at seven, and we have to be on parade at 8 o’clock. It is of course very much different, you have to do everything quick, but I really am enjoying it, although of course I miss you all.

Love from

Ken

PS please don’t forget do not write yet.

Letter 4

Grandma has marked this letter in green ink as 18/7/1941

Dear Mum,

Many thanks for your quick reply. I’ve got another one for a girl at the R.D.C. at the same time. Glad to hear that my sisters got home okay and that to enjoy the talk. I shall be glad if you can send me a pair of pyjamas and one pair of pants as this I have are getting a bit dirty. We are allowed to send a certain amount each week to the laundry and over that we have to pay for but it’s only a few coppers.

Well I am still enjoying it here in fact more than ever, in spite of the visual discipline, which is in fact (so we have been told) the strictest in the RAF anywhere in the country. As pilots!!!! Have to be on the alert all the time. Two men got put on a charge today for yawning on Parade and got seven days each. We were by the way stood at ease and not attention. My appetite is increasing daily as I feel hungry all the time now, and eat every chance I get.

We were told today that on Monday we are to be issued with our flying kit which is worth £120 and consists of and in a flying suit of silk and an outer one of silk-lined leather, a pair of fur boots, and three pairs of gloves which you wear all at once. However, if I pass out which I may or may not do I shan’t be using it for two or three months. Flight which came before the one I am in half finished the course today and start 10 days embarkation leave tomorrow after which they go to Canada for their flying training. I said “yes“, but it makes no difference what you say because they send you all the same, so if I do pass the exams I shall probably go to Canada or U.S.A. too. We have to wear now a white ceremonial belt over our ordinary clothes one which is more red tape. The C.O. thinks it looks smart but they have to be scrubbed and blank code twice today and incidentally our buttons and boots polished three times today. We have been having lectures etc., for a week now and I can (tell Arthur) to Morse at six words a minute which is the required speed to pass the exam, so I don’t have to worry too much about that. We have our Maths exam next Wednesday, and that is what worries me, and if I pass that I have to worry about navigation. Incidentally if I fail the Maths I don’t become a pilot. Still there are a lot worse at it than me.

We had a flight photograph taken a day or two ago. I have ordered one for you and will send it when developed. Well there isn’t much more news, tell Freddie can’t I will try and write but I am very hard pressed for time. Love to Dad, Des and Arthur

Monday 5 pm.

Dear Mum Dad and all,

I suppose you received my startling letter yesterday but I am able to write this as we are allowed out tonight and I can sort this now. We are supposed (it is more or less definite) to be going to USA. California I expect and leave for embarkation port at 12. 30 tomorrow night. There is a chance that some of us may be put on the reserve and I may be amongst them but if you don’t hear from me again you’re no I have gone. I enclose a check from R.D.C.. All you have to do is take it to Lloyds bank and cash it. I have asked R.D.C. to make any more checks payable to dad. We have got or shall soon get our LAC’s and overseas and flying pay will be about £3 a week. We get paid £11 tomorrow. It’s rotten getting soft abroad without leave but I suppose it’s all for the good of the course. I shall see you next time a fully qualified pilot (I hope) if I pass all exams. Hope his wedding goes off okay. We have had a very busy time last two days. Medical and dental inspections, night vision tests and all the rest of it. Alright as soon as I said before to you dad and all as soon as Poss. (After I land I expect if I go). I am sending you a drawing I had done but I shan’t be surprised if it gets broken. If so I should have it framed again. Well mum I haven’t much more time before next parade so don’t forget to see that all goes well with you all.

Fondest love

Ken. XX (upward diagonal line)

PS. Hope to see a good garden when I get back about 4–5 months. (Christmas). Remember me to Fred and Nev. Tell em not to join this racket. You see what happens to you. Sent abroad with no leave.

Well cheerio (upward sweeping diagonal line)

Dear Mum,

Many thanks for your letter of yesterday. I’m glad you all light choc, and Rex too. I am sorry to hear Des hasn’t been too well.

Well I am glad to say I have managed to get through the first part of this course I i.e. the Maths. We all had a personal interview Wednesday with the CEO and he told me I just got through. So now I have to concentrate on navigation, though I think I can manage it, as I find it very interesting.

I am feeling a bit tired right now as this morning we had a shock. From 8-9 we did usual drill and then the sergeant told me we had from 9–9. 30 to run 5 miles. Of course we all thought it very funny until we realised he was serious. He may just keep in step and cover it off, that is in marching order all the way, and weren’t there some hills. Anyhow I managed to stick it out although ?? of them dropped out so you can see we are a lot fitter than when we first came. I couldn’t have run 5 yards then. I haven’t heard from? Yet. I’m glad uncle Arthur and family came over, it is a change isn’t it. I still don’t know definitely if I shall be home for AA‘s wedding, so I hope he has got an auxiliary “best-man“ in case I can’t make it, so I am inclined to think there is more chance of me being home than not. It all depends on how long I get. Some traps get 10 days, others only 48 hours then off to Canada. It depends on whether a convoy is sailing. There is still quite a chance I get posted here in England though, it all depends on where the flight goes.

However as I have repeated often before it all depends of the outcome of exams.

I had to sign a paper the other day about pay from R.D.C. so it seems I should get a check from them soon, but I have written to Mr Brooks and asked him to hold it for me, as I can’t or you can’t cash it unless inch out and unless I endorse it.

The time is absolutely flying these days. It’s only seems yesterday when the exams were two months away and now here they are only a fortnight off.

I stay in every night now and swat up notes or else go tonight to govern navigation classes, where we plot courses to Germany etc.,. We have to navigate imaginary planes to certain parts of towns 1500 miles away with constant change in wind etc., and then come back to the aerodrome we started form. Still as I said it is very interesting indeed and I get on quite well with it.

The weather here is really rotten now, rains every day. Will I have to go and prayed for navigation now (we get six hours of it Saturday) so goodbye till next time.

Love

Ken

PS keep the raspberry jam. How is Dad’s garden coming on. I’ll send some more choc if I can get it soon.

Monday

Dear mum dad and all,

I have once again been able to find time to write, but only through misfortune. I am on guard tonight from 10 to 12 and two–4 a.m. And during that time have to patrol the front of the hotel, with fixed bayonet steel helmet, gas cap and all the rigmarole.

I am unlucky because I am on well all the officers I., come in and I have to challenge them all. Then tell them when they say “friend“ to report to the guard commander.

We are very strict down here on all little things like challenges and if you do it wrong you get C. B.[confined to barracks] 

It is because we are all potential officers or NCOs, they say. But if there is the slightest little bit of dirt rust I., about you get it in the neck.

One chap told me that nobody has ever left here without getting C. E. for something because it is supposed to be good for you.

We started the real hard work this morning. Up at 5:45 am breakfast at 6:45 and on for dress parade at 7:45 am. Here we have a full inspection by the C.O. and wo betide anybody who has not got his boots polished like glass. We then start lectures at 8 am and go on till 12. Then we get drill. I or sports. For two hours more lectures till 6 pm. Then tea.

We are then free (or that is what they call it) till 1015 which is lights out. However we have to do gas duty, guards I., two nights a week and study at night. We had Maths, Aircraft Recognition, Anti-Gas and Morse Code today. It really takes it out of you. Still I like it here, and as I said the food is very good. Navigation is my worry however but we haven’t started that yet. Well I shall finish now as I am on in 10 minutes. It’s a real pukka change of the guard complete with sergeant, officer, reading of orders to me, clicking of heels and salutes.

Well cheerio

Love to all

Dearest Mum, Dad and Des,

Thanks for your letter received yesterday and for returning the snaps! Things are still much the same since I last wrote and we have done quite a lot of flying. Dickie is still in hospital and will be for some time I expect but he’s getting on okay from all appearances. The day before yesterday we did our fifth 10 hour sweep and coming back at 5000 feet everything in the garden was lovely. We were above the clouds and the Sun going down made them possess all the colours of the rainbow. However their beauty is false and only superficial. We had to go down through them finally and inside it held and rained and bumped us about in quite a rough manner. To make things worse the cloud reached right down to see level – fog in other words! Jacky called up base and learnt the same conditions existed there. However we were diverted to a place called Chivenor 50 or 60 miles away and Jacky’s wireless set took us right there. We got down O.K. but 5 other planes weren’t so lucky. Anyway I hope to do my last trip tomorrow but whether any leave will be forthcoming I wouldn’t like to say, as we still don’t know what is to happen regarding Dicky.

Thanks for the congratulations. Nothing is definitely fixed yet but I am supposed to be getting a diamond solitaire Saturn platinum shoulders whatever that may be! Barrow rather amused me as I told her I might be getting married. She wrote back and gave me lengthy and detailed instructions on how to escape the clutches of designing women!

Oh, by the way Mum, I hope you don’t mind but I asked Jacky to come and spend the first couple of his days leave in Cheltenham should we get it! It won’t put you out will it. He’s very fond of you, you know – always telling me how lucky I am. I think it must have been those suave breakfasts you used to give us. Still he didn’t tell me I know I’m lucky. Shall have to pack up now – flying an air test in a few moments.

All my love,

Hope to see you soon

Ken.. (diagonal line to the right from the tail of K upward and ending in a loop and a full stop. )

There is an air of quiet confidence in this letter.

Commentary Note by KTW

Although Uncle Ken does not say so, the aircraft he and his crew (including Dicky and Jacky Kay) are flying is the Armstrong Whitworth Whitley twin-engine bomber, almost as large as the Halifax and Lancaster, and larger than the dreaded German Heinkel 111 and Dorner 88 twin-engine bombers that we are so familiar with from films and Pathe Newsreels.

They are stationed at RAF St Eval in Cornwall.

I don’t have a photo of Dicky. I suspect his injuries prevented him from staying with the crew when they were posted to an HCU (Heavy Conversion Unit to four-engine Halifaxes) in March 1943.

I am so pleased to see reference to Jacky (his formal photo below). Grandma always singled him out. The affection Ken mentions was indeed reciprocal. Jacky was also an outstanding bomb aimer and, on the earlier Whitley, an excellent wireless operator.

It says much about Ken, that his early crew-members accompanied him on conversion and thus went down with him.

I also attach huge importance to the fact that Ken’s entire crew were all senior NCOs i.e. either Sergeants or Flight Sergeants. Dad used to mention that Ken’s commission was being processed. But RAF history confirms that this would have been a force policy decision. The massive fatality rate of crews meant that rank went out of the window, so sergeant-pilots often had commissioned officers in their crews.

In 1943 they were in beginning to commission all heavy bomber pilots and navigators.

You’ll have seen the difference in status between officers and senior NCOs. Sergeants’ Messes were often stricter than officers messes. But there was a wide gulf between the two. This was still the case in the RAF VR when I was commissioned. I look back now and realise that I was experiencing the last moments of a lifestyle that we cannot even imagine today. Mum used to talk about the upheaval that annual camps brought when I returned. Simply put, I experienced a different life, different status. We had – a terrible term I now realise – a batman. Each morning, I would be woken at 7am “Good morning sir, your morning tea. Your shoes have been bulled, your trousers pressed. May I suggest that I also press your tunic this evening?” … and so on.

It is a life that Gen Z simply cannot imagine. Even the Millennial Gen would have difficulty. Our generation is contemptuous, a throwback to the rebellious 1960s that kicked hard against all authority and all deference. With good reason, of course. But when we did, we forgot the principle of the need to regularly repoint the wall.

Today, we now realise the price we pay for tumbling walls, walls long past the point of repointing.
