F/Sgt L G Preece RCAF was PoW 4919.

He was posted to No.78 Sqn.

He and the Nav baled out of Halifax LV939, F/L Harris, 27/4/44 on the raid to Montzen after it was attacked by fighters. The aircraft returned to base at 03:25 hrs.

The events are described in the Squadron Operations Record Book (ORB) held in The National Archives.

The two sections covering April 1944 (AIR 27/661) can be downloaded from the TNA web site for just under £7.

Regards
Ross
