Wellington R1374 & Hampden AD750 Memorial Pont St Martin, Loire

Hi Guys.

Today went to a moving ceremony at Pont St Martin where a new memorial to these two crews was unveiled and a Chemin de la Memoire linking the two crash sites opened.

Wellington R1374 & Hampden AD750 Memorial Pont St Martin, Loire


Wellington crew R1374:
Flt Lt Frederick Savage Pilot
Sgt John Fulford Co-pilot
Sgt Wray Heywood Observer/Nav
Sgt Leonard Harris W/O Air Gunner
Sgt Peter Read Air Gunner
Sgt John Hart Rear Gunner

Crew of Hampden AD750
F/O W Kelman Burr Thomas Pilot
P/O George Innis Co-Pilot
Sgt F Arnold Colson W.Op/ Air Gunner
Sgt Jack Franco W/O/Air Gunner

Relatives of Sgt Harris from the Wellington were present and also of one of the crew from the Hampden, but I do not know who. The relatives have been trying to contact relatives of the other crew members, especially Flt Lt Savage, pilot of the Wellington. Anyone with any other ifo or leads, I would be grateful to hear from you
