WW2 service in Royal Air Force 218 (Gold Coast) Squadron (operating Stirling 4-engine heavy bombers) based at RAF Downham Market in Norfolk. KILLED IN ACTION. His aircraft ("Stirling III HA-G EF367") severely damaged by enemy action (rear gunner killed & mid-upper gunner wounded) during raid on German city of Bochum (Ruhr) and crash landed at RAF Chedburgh in Suffolk (some reports say it collided with the Operations Block killing two aircrew from another aircraft as they entered the building but it was another aircraft that was involved in that incident).
