I'll put my great Uncle on the list, he was in the British Army and drove Crocodile tank, which I think was a Churchill tank with a flamethrower on it. I don't know where he served though.

My grampa Albert Richard Kvorjak senior. He was the chief mechanic(is that it?) on the SawBuster. He was a master sergeant by the time he left, had several decorations and had the plane back in the air within 72 hours(I think) of it returning with damages that should have grounded it.
