Armourer for first time

2018-01-27

Today F/Sgt Cyril Sklenar´s death anniversary is remembered by us

This member of the Czechoslovak No 2  Inf Bat in the French 1940 Campaign volunteered on English soil for the Cz units within the RAF. It occured in a tented camp at Cholmondeley Park in summer 1940. But only WOPs and mechanics were in demand. Thanks to his Trade Certificate Cyril succeeded in joining the RAF as the latter.
