sidevalve there was an Obituary in yesterday's Telegraph for Flying Officer Alfie Martin D.F.C., a WWII Halifax bomb aimer, who in Spring 1943 escaped from Belgium via the Comet Line.

This Obituary is not behind a paywall.

This is the Obituary for the pilot Squadron Leader Lashbrook, who died in June 2017, who it appears from this brief Obituary also escaped.
