It is happy dance day. Thank you Chatters who helped me along the way. 

I now have the book At First Sight, personal accounts written by former members of No 627 squadron. Several chapters were written by Wallace & his flying partner, Peter Mallender.

I've also received two unpublished pieces written by Wallace. One is specifically about the Oslo bombing and his recovery. Another is called: Those that Fight I do not Hate.

It is amazing to get this kind of peak into his experience! Thanks again for your help a few years ago. I can now mark this complete.

I am a distant relative of Wallace Gaunt and have family information about him and his parents. Anything I can help with?

Welcome to RootsChat!

I'm viewing on my phone; will get back to you when I'm at my desk.

Post 2 more times on this thread - just Hi, then another post & I'll be able to send you a private message.

It's great to find another researching Gaunt. I'm doing a happy dance.

There is a lovely group for 462&466 Squadron on Facebook if either are you on that.  They have just done their second newsletter and released it on there.  If you are in either UK or Aus there are reunions both ends within the next six months.  I am not connected to the Sqns except by interest and both John and Tiana have made me very welcome on there.  They would love to have you and your families join the band....
