Introducing The Story

As seen in the picture below Charlie (his nickname) was a soldier , and it all started like this.

How It All Started Out

Charlie was at home one day when it was 1939 when the world war started when his mom came back from the store. ” Rationing has started !” his mother said .”So instead of normal eggs we are going to have egg powder”

With those words said that is how Charlie went to become tail end Charlie (he only went to RAF so thFat he could get proper eggs).

Charlie went on to become the tail gunner (hence the nickname tail -end Charlie). Training was not that long because they had to get men to war fast and quickly because the NAZIS were coming to power.

Charlie went on his first mission as practise instead of dropping bombs it dropped foil strips. The second mission was a disaster! Charlie was hit in the face with Shrapnel  and was taken to a hospital .Well I guess you could say it wasn’t that much of a disaster because that’s how he met his wife she was one of the nurses helping him.

That’s how they got married and had four children. So that’s his story and now lets move on to some fun facts.
