Permalink   


Hi....my uncle Barney Greatrex was bomb aimer on sqd 61 O for orange, shot down 25/2/44 and was the only survivor. He was MIA for 9 months, evaded capture and was heavily involved with the maquisard resistance. He has decided he wants to visit the graves of his crewmates, which he has never done before. He is 93. This wil be a very emotional trip for him. I would like to contact any relatives of his crewmates....they were:
