Memories/ records of my father
Permalink   

I am trying to learn of my father's time in bomber command and welcome any information.
He was Flt Sgt Brian Warren, came from Cawthorne, Barnsley. All I know so far, he was a rear gunner, shot down over enemy territory and was imprisoned in stalagluft 3 until release at the end of the war.
He was then sent to the Isle of Man where he met and married my mother. After a teaching career in Rhodesia, other parts of Africa and in the uk he died of cancer aged 55.

Any info please?

Hi,

a quick search on the lost bombers site shows a Sgt B. J Warren PoW No.3594?

Looks like all the crew were taken PoW, the crew list would suggest Sgt B.J Warren to be the rear gunner.

Anon,
           There was a Sgt B. Warren, shot down on 24/03/44, while on ops to Berlin with 576sqdn, pow in Stalag Luft 7. He was mid-upper gunner in the crew, but they used to swap around on occasions. If this is your father, please let me know, as i have the 576sqdn Operations Record Book which i can search for previous ops for him and his crew.
The only airman by the name of Warren, held in Stalag Luft 3 was F/O R. Warren., of 550sqdn.
Alan.
