Text Box: THE FAMILIES Religion has always played its part in the overall fabric of families from earliest time. The trend in these earlier times was for the eldest son to inherit the family lands and fortune and subsequent sons went into the armed services (Military) of their country or into the Religious life. The more adventurous, whilst in their early twenties, and those with a pioneering spirit left their homelands where they were born and spent a few years travelling to different parts of the world. Many forged great careers and overcame many hardships in these new frontiers. They settled down, prospered and raised families. So many of the people in our families are ordinary people. I'm not writing out of a sense of enormous pride in an outstanding family, as most led extremely staid lives. So many in our family have almost become lost to the world in general, and my direct family had no knowledge of a large number of them at all when I first started researching the family histories. It's become a delight for me to put them all into one place, to have them available to my children, my direct relations and the many cousins and the descendants that follow. Most of my own cousins were lost up until I started researching. Through this long investigation and the following stories I have come into contact with 'lost' families not only in Australia, but also in England, Channel Islands, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, America, New Zealand and Germany. This has become a truly worthy enterprise! Our family was very interesting in that once I started searching I was able to trace a lot of information on so many of the ancestors. A large number went into Holy Orders, including the Church of England, Catholic Church and even the more obscure New Church in Great Britain, who worshipped at The Swedenborgean chapels around the country and for these reasons alone their lives have been reasonable well documented. Many too, entered into the Military of which I have found a lot of information and of course we had our share of Pioneers and Adventurers who travelled far and wide to settle the new lands. I have been researching family history for nearly 40 years and it never ceases to amaze me the number of times I come across strange fact and figures that in the overall picture seem to mean very little but when these facts are all placed together they show another side to family history that goes un-noticed. I decided that it was worthwhile doing a breakdown and recording the following facts and stories together into this book form which will include the names and details of many families and individuals with either a blood relationship or an association by marriage. Of course, more details and complete genealogy of these individuals is to be found in my family history books in the Grandma! Where did I come from? Series – Books 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. (see detailed list at front of this book.) I am hoping that by putting this information down on paper in this fashion, it will be interesting to read by the future generations that follow. Sadly I will not be able to list everyone as so many were untraceable, there are many who died in wars and lie in unknown graves in far off lands and they have sadly faded from remembrance until I found some of them as the children connected to our family tree. One of the reasons for writing this book is that in our family we will remember those who died in wars in those far off lands and that if travelling overseas we can visit graves and memorials that may perhaps contain our ancestors or even for others who have no one to mourn their passing. In this way they are not forgotten by future generations that follow. It will also help us remember those early settlers who ventured forth with both faith and courage to settle new lands. Many women in our family also showed immense courage and fortitude and are a great inspiration to the women in our families who follow in their footsteps. I hope future generations will enjoy the stories as they unfold. Veronica Maude BATES nee DIBBLE

Text Box: With more than 50 operations, Richard Trevor-Roper was probably the most experienced air gunner to take part in the Dams Raid, and was the Gunnery Leader. He was also the acknowledged leader of the squadron’s hellraisers, bringing to Scampton a reputation honed in many an earlier squadron mess.
Trevor-Roper was born on the Isle of Wight on 19 May 1915. After leaving Wellington College he spent two years in the Royal Artillery. At the outset of war he joined the RAF, and trained as a wireless operator/gunner.
In 1941, he had one complete tour in 50 Squadron, received a DFM, and was also commissioned. After an inter-tour break at a training unit, he went back to 50 Squadron and had almost completed another tour, flying mainly with Sqn Ldr Birch, when he was brought into 617 Squadron. Gibson obviously recognised Trevor-Roper as a soulmate, describing him in Enemy Coast Ahead as one of the ‘real squadron characters’, although noticing, in a thoughtful moment, that he was quiet on the flight out to the dams, perhaps because his wife was about to produce their first baby.
After the raid, for which he received the DFC, Trevor-Roper came into his own, leading the pack in the drunken escapades which followed, principally the excursion to London in June for the investiture and the dinner at the Hungaria restaurant that followed. Cards were played, hipflasks were produced, and trousers removed, not always voluntarily. The squadron adjutant, Harry Humphries, was a particular target, and various escapades are reported in his book, Living with Heroes. (The same stories appear again, in a more sanitised version, in Paul Brickhill’s The Dam Busters.)
