Hi TapH,
Sgt Peter Jezzard, radio operator on Lancaster Mk 1 (piloted by Sgt D B Hyde, RCAF), LL828, GI-J, was shot down during the night of 15-16 March 1944 by night fighters south east of Rouen after a raid on Stuttgart. He evaded successfully via the "
Bourgogne Evasion" network organised by Georges Broussine. I don't have much info on the activities of that network. His evasion is labelled: "Journey arranged".(?)
His DFM award
here.
I'll get to the post-war awards later on.. Whether or not you think they were adequately recognised is another story! Some were - many weren't.
Glad you're enjoying George's story..
