Hi Pats,
I came across your website while searching out Vollenhove on the internet.
Being a Vollenhove resident, I was wondering if you could help me?
I am planning to visit Vollenhove on April 25th
to visit my uncle's war grave on behalf of my family.
I will be traveling from Canada.
My Uncle (Jack Gibbs) is buried in De Voorst cemetery, shot down at age 19.
.................
I only speak English; will that be a problem getting around the town in general?
Many thanks for your assistance and reply.

Hi Pats,
It was so nice to chat with you recently!
Didn’t seem like that much time had passed since we’d sat across from each other in Vollenhove over a pint!
I came across a document that I must have typed out in a genealogy program when my dad was alive.
May have some clues for you …… . Just in case.
It’s the name I couldn’t remember, that I thought my aunt had taken to her grave:
Jack was married on June 17, 1942 to Doreen.
In doing so he went AWOL 24 hours for extended honeymoon at boarding house in Maumadene Yorkshire.
Put into new crew on return, which we know was his final flight.
Jack’s friend, Dougie Henderson of Toronto was on leave with Jack.
They were stationed in Cranwell, Lincolnshire, England.
I now remember my dad’s cousin (my ‘aunt’ Hazel) of Suffolk, England tell me
that Dougie and my uncle Jack were very close friends.
If you ever find out what happened to Dougie (or ‘Doug’), that would be most interesting!
Dad thought Jack was a Wireless Operator / Air Gunner
but the Commonwealth War Graves Commission has him registered as a Flight Sergeant.
Maybe he was all of these combined?
Thanks Pats. Take care!

??? Maumadene Yorkshire ??? ... not found !!! ... typo ?
Rank: Flight Sergeant
Trade: Wireless Operator / Air Gunner
AWOL = Absent Without Official Leave - info PATS - 10 Feb 2013
The ORB's rarely provide first name information.
And if this person was not flight crew then he would likely never be mentioned.
There appears to be a Sgt. D. A. Henderson gunner with 420 at this time.
This may be/likely the Henderson in question.
Henderson flew as gunner on 23 June 1942, 26 June 1942, but it seems he does not appear again,
unless I missed his name, so he could have been posted out.
At that time the records were often sketchy at best.
There is no mention of a Henderson be lost on ops and Peter Sainty does not mention anything either.
I also note that Gibbs name is often recorded as Sgt. J. E. Gibb.
Gibbs also flew as a gunner.

"Charles Garnett Wilde, born March 11, 1920 at Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada
He was the second of 9 children born to Harry Milton Wilde and Mabel Lillian Wilde (née Breault)
Charles or Charlie grew up on the family farm at Richmound, Saskatchewan and
attended school there. For 2 years after High School he was employed as a
clerk in the local Municipal office. Early in his life he developed a love
for flying and for aircraft and spent many hours building model planes out
of balsa wood and tissue paper
And so when he joined the armed services in Feb of 1941 it was only natural
that he would enlist in the Air Force
He graduated from RCAF Service Flying School at Claresholm, Alberta on Oct 5th of the same year
At his "Wings" ceremony the Duke of Windsor pinned on Pilot badge
On Nov 20 1941 he landed at Northampton, England
During his training period in Canada our brother R/94568 - AC1 - Richard Nelson Wilde was drowned
in a boating accident at the Uplands Air Force Training Station near Ottawa, ON
Nelson was also in the Air Force
It is a great comfort to us that his grave is attended by such care by your people
and that his supreme sacrifice made so early in his life has not been forgotten.

1198862 - Alan Denis Bond
Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve - Sergeant (Obs.) - Age 30Son of James Flaxman Bond (b.1883, Aylsham) and Kate Bond (née Butcher),
of Aylsham; husband of Joyce Ethel Bond (née Staddon), of Aylsham, Norfolk, UK
marriage Alan (b.1912, Aylsham) and Ethel (b.1913, Hendon) was late 1935
Observer Alan Bond (right) with his pilot Charles Wilde for a break
"Alan Denis Bond was born and bred in Aylsham, Norfolk
and was educated at the Paston Grammar School, North Walsham.
He had an elder brother, Ray, who was a Quarter Master Sergeant in the Army during the War
and upon his return worked for Barclays Bank. Sadly, Ray died in 1956.
Alan was married to Joyce, they had no children, she remarried and died about 20 years ago.
Alan was a keen player of both golf and tennis.
Before the War Alan Bond worked with his Father, who had a thriving Gentlemen's
and Ladies Outfitters (clothing) business in Aylsham.
Alan then purchased shops in North Walsham and Swaffham, both market towns in Norfolk
Here he carried on the same business as his Father
His wife, Joyce, looked after both shops during the war and continued to do so after Alan was killed
The North Walsham shop continued trading for about 30 years
and the Swaffham shop for about 15 years after the war
I was only 10 years old when the war started therefore my memories of Alan are limited
Alan Denis Bond was my cousin."

PUGNAMUS FINITUM
No. 420 Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Force (and subsequently Canadian Forces)existed from late December 1941 forwards.
The Squadron's nickname was "City of London" and "Snowy Owl".
Their motto was Pugnamus Finitum Latin for "We Fight To The Finish".
No. 420 Squadron is no longer active.
Squadron, No. 420, flying its first raid on the night of 21/22 Jan 1942,
continued to operate Hampdens, one of the last units in Bomber Command to do so.
In August the same year it was transferred to No. 4 Group at Skipton-on Swale - Yorkshire
For SQUADRON information - at Bomber Command
Did find here other serial numbers - 14 Feb 2007 - !!!
Hampden Mk.I - AE248 - PT-A - Squadron 420 - RCAF
went also down near Koudum - 3rd of July 1942 at 00:54
on the same mission to Bremen
420-losses-Hampden - at Bomber-Command of Bob Baxter
Do find here P5332 and AT248 - have to do more research on the numbers !!
Don't see the AE248 of Koudum with is for 100% of the 420 Sqdn. "Snowy Owl",
so it seems something is mixed-up PATS - 16 Feb 2007

July 1: No ops. F/Lt. K. E. Brown arrived at squadron to become Deputy Flight Commander of A-Flight.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
July 2: Thirteen (13) aircraft were readied and took off on ops.
Five (5) aircraft returned early due to mechanical issues. Six (6) reported attacking the primary target,
but at a cost of two (2) aircraft reported as missing. Bomb loads were 2 x 500 lbs plus 360 x 4 lb incendiaries.
Take off time was ~23:00. "K", "R", "P", "H" and "F" were early returned due to engine problems
or other mechanical issues.
One crew believed they attacked the primary target, Bremen "D", and the rest area bombed the town.
Crews dropped their bomb loads ~01:40 from 10000 to 13000 feet.
Visibility was good over the target but details were obscured by flares and bomb flashes.
Defences included flak, searchlights and night fighters. Crews reported seeing many fires in the target area.
P/O. Rayne in AE390 "Z" made a glide bombing run beginning at 17000 feet bombing and 13000
and restoring power at 11000.
AE248 "A" flown by Pilot F/Lt. K. E. Brown and crew, Nav Sgt. R. O. Williams, W.Op./AG Sgt. J. N. Waddington,
and W.Op./AG Sgt. R. W. Whytock were reported missing.
As well, P5332 "T", piloted by F/Sgt. C. G. Wilde with crew of Nav Sgt. A. D. Bond, W.Op./AG F/Sgt. T. E. Crothers
and W.Op./AG F/Sgt. J. E. Gibbs did not return.
The pilot of "A", F/Lt. K. E. Brown was later reported as a POW.
The other members of Brown's crew and all the crew of "T" were killed.
Bomber Command sent a force of 325 aircraft to Bremen this night.
Although it appears much of the attack occurred south of the city limits those bombs falling
on target appeared to be effective.
1000 homes, four small factories, dock facilities and seven ships were damaged including the Marieborg, which was sunk.

July 3: No ops. Three (3) aircraft were involved in morning sea search.
Two (2) aircraft practiced infra-red bombing. Air gunnery practice was carried out.
Sgt. Forster arrived at the squadron.

Collage made of images and last letter from Jack
Jack Edward Gibbs and Doreen Margaret Betts on her wedding day 17th of June 1942
with her sisters baby - address: 55 Charles St / Iffley Rd, Oxford, UK
Place of marriage: Registry Office Oxford - date 17 June 1942

The last letter - 27/5/1942 - from Jack reads:
Dear All,
Thanks for the nice letters and for sending the cable from Dad on to me.
I have only a minute or two to write now but I hope to see you all
before long, thought I can't say exactly when you can expect us.
If I should take a last fling at this damn-fool-game, before then though,
and it turns out to be that last short flight into the sunset, will you
ask Doreen home for a little while anyway? She needs a holiday and a
change and a few days at the Tuns will do her good. And make sure she goes!
Enough of that, though. You'll never know how much I am looking forward to
getting home, this time, so you can be on the look out for us before many days.
For now, though,
Love from Doreen + myself
Jack

Dear Teunis,
My name is Tina Moggridge and I was given your web page details today - 09 Oct 2011
after meeting someone and talking about the war graves in Vollenhove and Blokzijl
I read an item from the family of Jack Gibbs
If you are still in contact with them I was wondering if you could let them know
that every 11th of November my husband [Colin] and I take poppies to each of the graves
and I do a bible reading to let them know that they are never forgotten
My husband lost his father when he was 6 years old on the 19th June 1944
and this is a time for us to celebrate his father too
We now live in Sint Jansklooster so it is easy for us to visit the graves
Kind regards Tina Moggridge (mrs) - 09 Oct 2011

For fifty years we have been here, nowhere near a funeral bier Our plight is sad our story true we are the remains of a Stirling bomber crew. We crashed into the Zuider Zee in August nineteen forty three The moon was full the night was clear Only the flak and night fighters to fear. We had done our job and bombed Berlin. On our homeward flight they all honed in. The searchlights held us in their gaze for what seemed to us like days. The skipper said "We have been hit I'll try to run for it" He did his best it must be said but now we lie in our watery bed no piece of marble at our head. All these years we have been here tormented souls unable to rest because we have not been blessed The night was clear the moon was full. |

Hi PATS,
My aunt's maiden name was Enid Chester, and both she and Vic lived in Bushbury, Wolverhampton
At the time of his death, they had a baby son, Brian
I will see if I can get some more photographs from my aunt for your website
Thank you so much for commemorating the crew in this way

Hi PATS,
Enid died last year - 2009 - , as did Eileen
Jeanne’s date of birth is 11/12/1928. Their brother Dennis died many years ago
Enid’s son Brian died a couple of years ago now I think
I am waiting for the family to finish sorting Enid’s possessions before enquiring
about any further photographs
I will certainly let you know if any come to light – as I expect they will
I recall Enid showing me a picture of Vic with his crew, so I know some do exist

See final letter of Zwanenburg on 11 Apr 1973 for the real kind of aircraft debris found on 28 Mar 1973 at Oosteringweg

and also minor parts of the wheel doors

THERE IS NO SALVAGE IN THE NOP DONE BY G. J. ZWANENBURG (period 1967-1987)
28 Mar 1973 - N-33 - Oosterringweg 3 - Honestly this not a real salvage at all, Zwanenburg arrived that afternoon at 13:40pm
One hour and five minutes later at 14:45pm the sign clear/safe was given
29 Mar 1973 - Bergingsdienst KLu, Soesterberg, Salvage Officer G. J. Zwanenburg writes one day later:
It are remaining parts of JA702 which wreck was already salvaged in 1951 at this location
Again ... it was a M I S I D E N T I F I C A T I O N from his side
parts and described wreck (also parts), were of LANCASTER JA902
The wreck of JA702 lays 14 km to the west near Tollebeek - info PATS - 08 Nov 2018
100% PROOF of JA702 is FOUND in various documents, etc ...
while the main wreck (with bombs) of LANCASTER JA902 exploded on M-92, so no wreck at all at the Oosterringweg
further 21 salvages in OFL - Oost-Flevoland, 16 in ZFL - Zuid-Flevoland and 3 in the Veluwemeer (lake)
13 salvages in OFL before 1967 can easily subtracted as not part of his research
So not more than 30 salvages, or even less, can be allocated to him for the entire province of Flevoland
This includes also pre and post-war crashes or a second salvage for the same crash
NOP stands for Noordoostpolder

Mr. E. S. Cowell, 61 Kenlor Road, Tooting, SW 17, London, England
- source: service records Toohey ( page 5 ) -
From the electoral registers - Mr. and Mrs. Cowell's names were Eric Stephen Cowell and Mary Clarissa Cowell
They are both registered at 61 Kenlor Road from 1939 to 1953, after which Eric's name disappears
Mary is there until 1973
The fact that Albert is not registered to vote in 1939 suggests he was under 21 at that time,
but I cannot narrow down his age any further

This was earlier the case in 1952 with the tenant, according "2nd permit" letter of 06 Sep 1952 by "Directie van de Wieringermeer"Mr. A. Wilkens, Lemmer and Mr. F. van Rijssen did receive on 03 Mar 1952 a 1st permit for "excavating aircraft remains"
from three plots (kavels): R-34, M-92 and F-85W
R-34 - 12 Oct 1941 - Wellington Mk.Ic - R1757 - crew Jeffries - 5 KIA - 1 POW - SGLO T-1293

Status M-92 ?
Unclear whether this was undone after 06 Sep 1952 by the owner "Directie van de Wieringermeer"Likely not positive, based on the unsuccessful OGS attempt in 1989 . . . nowadays still three MIA in this area
probably at crash location on M-92

info "verkavelings" map 1943 by Henk Huisman - 02 Apr 2019
NOTE: 08 Oct 1943 - B-17G - #42-37751 location, the lots H-18, H-31 and H-32 are mentioned in this case too
An A/C is located (based on aerial footage of 29 Nov 1944 - 20 Apr 1945 - 1947) - 08 Apr 2019 - info PATS
Part of propellor found by Mr. J. van der Kooy on H-33-Zuid (12ha) - approx. 200m SSW of A/C location
Confirmed on 12 Apr 2019 - info Jaap van der Kooy (b.1940) - former tenant
Bomb crater on H-18 is confirmed with aerial footage of 1947 and 1949
173196.29, 523000.33 - Aerial images of 1947 and 1949 - (c) DOTKA data
Bomb crater on H-18 is 777 meter from 'unknown' A/C on H-33
Next step is to find proof which A/C was really on H-33
Was it Emmert's B-17G (08 Oct 1943) or Rule's Lancaster (30 Jan 1944) - info PATS - 13 Apr 2019
21 Jan 2020 - Proof found of 100% Lancaster items (incl. burial docs and various eyewitness reports) . . . so it's JA702
JA702 . . . "Fire broke out and the aircraft blew up" . . . JA702
Escape & Evasion report Patrick 'Paddy' Coyne - interviewed 03 Sep 1945Confirmed by his navigator W. W. Cottam in his memoir "FROM KIRKHAM TO KRAKOV" - December 2000
H-33 is 100% proof, it's more likely that parts of JA702 also were spreaded over H-31 and H-32 after it blew up in the air
Or was it 'old' H-31 and 'old' H-32 which are partly overlapping H-18 - under investigation - info PATS
B-17G - #42-37751 did made a safe crashlanding and can be seen fully intact in three photographs with small fire damage afterwards
The bomb crater H-18 is the result of German intervention to get rid of this A/C
No doubt about that

Aerial RAF images 1943 - 1945 and charts, etc ... can be obtained from dotkadata.com/en
100% - both A/C came down in this area - 100%
Paddy Coyne did land unhurt about 10 mi W of Vollenhove - info M.I.9 record - interview by I.S.9(W) on 03 Sep 1945that's roughly between the red 10 mi W line and 'old' Kavel H-46 (map 1943)
Bill Cottam landed in the same area and was slightly wounded at his head.
After 15 minutes they met each other again on the ground and were walking together (see Cottam's memoir, Dec 2000) towards Urk [row boat location]
Green circle - center is 5 km (3 mi) from the row boat 'spot' where Cottam and Coyne did met their three Dutch helpers by accident
Ruud Arnoldi (25y), Paul Crielaard (19y) and Engel Sap (23y) - info Arnoldi's letter, 29 Apr 1995
The row boat 'spot' of Arnoldi, Crielaard and Sap was ± 1km from Urk (see details in Arnoldi's letter for time and locations)
There is a kind of debris/wing seen on aerial footage on 'old' Kavel H-45 (nowadays at the end of 'new' H-33 - Zuidermiddenweg 19-I)

Zwanenburg - 13 Mar 1975 - Lancaster JA702 is given at a wrong location near Marknesse
30/31 June 1944 should read as 30/31 January 1944
At the otherhand it's very difficult and impossible to fly on 31 Jun 1944 ;)
In addition to this date error, only JA902 is correct in this clip. While R-34 is not even linked to Jeffries,
but R1757 was given for Kavel H-112 (near Emmeloord). Out of three, only one crash is correct
So you might wonder how accurate his database was after ten years in this study at that time
A few essential errors were later adjusted, but other were not updated at all and can be misleading
In general his early own database from the 80's is really outdated, comparing with nowadays research possiblities
done by many researchers over the whole world. Internet is a handy tool to put it all together
And still you have to check the items sometimes over and over, when there is a slight discrepancy
Don't get me wrong, you can certainly use Zwanenburg as one of the references or base. But that's just a simple start
Cut and paste is easy, but the top-researchers do see blind-folded what's the original source ;)
Try to find the ORIGINAL docs is my best advice and be aware of mistakes even it is written first hand
Start from SCRATCH and compare everything
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Comment: People do give too much importance to his incomplete records
"In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king"
I'm not really impressed by his Flevoland study in generalBy hindsight for the Noordoostpolder (NOP) for instance he has done not any salvage at all
it was more philosophize, as usual for him for this whole area, than adequate research - info PATS - 22 May 2019
Lindeweg - Nr. 9 = M-92 = JA902 (Weatherill) - OKAY
Oosterringweg - Nr. 10 = N-33 = JA702 (Rule) - WRONG . . . . . . . this is also JA902 (Weatherill) - OKAY
Baarloseweg - Nr. 11 = R-34 = R1757 (Jeffries) - OKAY

Cottam and Coyne were transfered in an ambulance from the NOP, after ferry crossing just outside Emmeloord
[Lemstervaart / Zwolse Vaart], to Drachtstercompagnie Oostermeer [Eastermar in Friesland]
near Bergum [Burgum in Friesland] became shortly later their 'safe house'
Late July they left Oostermeer at 08:00am and took the train at the nearest station
via Leeuwarden, Zwolle to 's-Hertogenbosch
Both could practice their bicycle skills while following the last guide on the final leg
for that day, reaching their destination just before curfew time
Both taken POW - 7 Aug 1944, Antwerp. Brought to the prison at Brussels and had their POW intake
one week later at interrogation centre Dulag Luft West, Oberursel near Frankfurt, Germany

............... We were now taken out of the police station [Camp Emmeloord] and to our surprise put into an ambulance.
Our friends [Arnoldi, Crielaard and Sap], including the policeman [Hermans]
and the doctor [J. H. Jansen] shook hands with us, wished us good luck,
closed the ambulance doors and off we went into the night. The journey, I estimated, took about two hours
until the ambulance stopped in a small town, which I later discovered was Bergum. [Drachtstercompagnie]
Hustled into a house by the man [Jacob van Hout] who accompanied
the driver [Foppe Pier van der Woud] of the ambulance,
we were asked to take off our uniforms and put on any of the civilian clothes laid out which would
be a reasonable fit. Thus within ten minutes of arriving in the house we were transformed into civilians.
By now it was the early hours of the morning but our travels were not yet over.
Back into the ambulance and a short drive and once again taken out and walked up a driveway
to a detached house. Here we were greeted by the occupant and his wife.
The ambulance and its crew departed and we were left, strangers in a strange house,
and without the least idea where we were.
Our new residence was the house of the local doctor [Van Leeuwen, Oostermeer]
and we were to remain under his roof for the next six months.
Fortunately the doctor had a reasonable command of English and taking us into the living room
introduced us to a young Dutchman who was also living with the Van Leeuwen family. ............

After Leslie Irvin’s 1919 successful first parachute jump, any person from that time on
who jumped from a disabled aircraft with a parachute became a member of the Caterpillar Club
The Club was named after the caterpillar for several reasons
The parachute main sail and lines were woven from the finest silk

that the three Dutch boys (Ruud Arnoldi, Paul Crielaard and Engel Sap)
were in search as Resistance-members for her Dad and his Flight Engineer. That's her family version

North of Hannover is 160 mi (approx. 50 minutes flight time) from the crash location,
so his timetable or location is a bit wrong
Time-wise the first encounter with the night fighter was likely near the Dutch border
or even closer to the crash location

Neither Coyne or Cottam can recall how they got out of the plane, they were just in the right spot when it blew up
The crash location is 4.5 mi NW of Vollenhove, so they landed after the initial free fall not far from that spot
Five hours walking in easterly direction [info Cottam, 1995],
there is only one camp in that area applicable . . . Working Camp Vollenhove
The hospital was just over the bridge, Doctor J. H. Jansen (31) took care of Cottam's head wound
However the written info in Jansen's questionnaire is not unanimously about the camp location!
!!! So we have to check this twice !!!
Info from the families Arnoldi and Crielaard can be decisive in this matter. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
My premonition that something was wrong was confirmed by a handwritten letter (29 Apr 1995) of Ruud Arnoldi
details will follow later ..... it's a kind of "BREAKING NEWS" for the first two days of their escape
The story of Arnoldi is much more detailed than Cottam's statement,
a mistake of a place name [Vollenhove instead of Marknese] gave a false impression of their escape route
Also the wrong determination of the crash location [Marknesse instead of Tollebeek] did not contribute to the correct story

Hi PATS,
Thanks. Those are both Rule's 103 Squadron crew. I have seen them before.
They flew 10 operations with 103 Squadron before being posted to 156 Squadron.
Those photos were taken around the end of August 1943 at Elsham Wolds by an official or newspaper photographer.
I have about 12 similar photos of other crews taken at the same time by the same man.
Hope you are well.

David W. Fell - 576 Squadron RAF - 13 Sep 2018
??? Ken Ball (S) ??? . . . . . ??? Charlie Evans (N) ???
I'm not convinced yet with the obtained portrait of Flt. Lt. Charles W. Reeves - DFCA civil portrait of Reeves or without his hat is more preferable for a final judgement
21 times their Navigator (N), hopeful I'm able to find the portrait of their 2nd Navigator (S) Sgt. Frederick J. Manley
who was 19 times with crew Rule towards Italy (2), France (1) and German (16) territory
Based on the known names (5) and trade positions, (F) (A) (A) (P) (?) (?) (W), I do miss a (N) and (S)
For the abbreviations (N), etc .... see above tables, or check the 156 Squadron site of Robin Riley
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ken Ball was for the first time with crew Rule on 29 Dec 1943, so if Pat Coyne is right with his writing on the reverse
In that case that photo is taken after 29 Dec 1943, with is very doubtfull when I see men in summer outfit and uncovered upper body
My conclusion: it must be somebody else, also confirmed with the 100% pictures I have of 658450 - Flt. Sgt. (Navigator) Kenneth Ball
while Charlie Evans is arbitrary too, after checking all 24 crews (12 Aug'43 - 30 Jan'44) of pilot Rule, the name Evans is not showing up at all
Photos were likely taken in the summer of 1943, while with No. 103 Squadron or even prior with 1667 HCU (Halifax, Lancaster) from 01 Jul 43
Based on the Lancaster K2 in the background it points to No. 103 Sqn., Elsham Wolds
End of August 1943, Elsham Wolds - confirmed by David W. Fell - 576 Squadron RAF - 13 Sep 2018
01 Jul 1943 - Rule was posted to 1667 HCU (Heavy Conversion Unit), Lindholme, South Yorkshire, UK
06 Aug 1943 - Rule was posted to No. 103 Squadron, Elsham Wolds, Lincolnshire, UK
Rule (P), Reeves (N), Manley (S), Coyne (W), Shorter (F), Sloan (A), Race (A) - all 10 ops with same crew

Hi Pats,
I’ve now got some more photos for you.
The second one is of him with his sister, (my mother) Joan and his younger brother George.
My mother joined the Air Force in January 1943, so this must be the year.
That would make George about 16. Hope this completes the picture for you.
Best wishes, John - 05 Oct 2018

Hi Teunis,
Thanks for your information regarding my uncle, John "Jock" Sloan,
I have found your information facinating as it is all new to me,
I knew he had been killed while serving in action during WWII and was buried in Holland but not much more.
I have spoken to my sisters who I believe have a photograph of John in Military uniform,
I will scan and send as soon as I get the photo.
Many thanks for your e-mail

The Netherlands is the only country in Europe that commemorates the casualties of the Second World War
and celebrates its liberation on two separate but consecutive days.
We remember the casualties of wartime violence on May 4th, and on May 5th we celebrate our freedom.

Now, later, after I got the email from Brenda Gibbs
to help her when she was visiting her uncle Jack's war grave in Vollenhove,
I did a lot of research to find the most of Jack Edward Gibbs and his crew
Not only Jack's crew, but also the details of other crashes near Vollenhove
during World War II came in the picture.
In some books of Vollenhove they will say in a few lines and dates
what was going around in the 1940-1945 period
It seems that not everything was written down correctly as it shoud be
"My goal is to extend those lines and dates with more detail" - PATS
At first I tried to find more info about the 12 Commonwealth War Graves in VollenhoveThose 12 men are from 4 planes - see also above -

About the two POW's - Cottam & Coyne of JA702 I don't have

did crash into Zuiderzee on 28 Sep 1917 or on '29 Sep 1917' based on tombstone of Haes [HAAS]
In the night of 3/4 Oct 1917, the nets of fishing boat EB61 did caught
a part of a wing, which was brought on land in Elburg - Prov. of Gelderland
Based on the crash landing of Gotha G.V 668/16 at ~23:20 near Sneek/Scharnegoutum

Teunis,
This may be too late ( for the A5 Folder 1.0 - info PATS ) , but my aunt just called me and told me that
her cousin’s wife knew the middle name. It is Melvin.
I hope you still have time to use it, but if not, we understand.
Again, thank you for all your efforts on this.
Best Regards, Darren Policella

11 February 44 - SUBJECT: Extract from S-2 Mission Report regarding B-17G 42-31218
A/C No. 218 was observed to leave formation at about 1215 hours
It continued to drop back and lose altitude and was last seen at about 1300 hours near Lingen
No chutes reported. It may be assumed that 218 was subjected to F/A attacks after it was last seen
++++++++++++++++
Two farmhouses, from Hendrik van Benthem and Lambertus Herman Lok,
in the tiny community of Baarlo, were set on fire after German fighters - Fw 190
shot down #42-31218 - B-17G - "Eto-Itis" on his return and pieces of the plane did
hit the farms around 13:20. All 15 cows in the barn of Lok were killed
3 cows of van Benthem were also killed by the exploding ammunition
Nobody on the ground was hurt
Discrepancy !!! 15 cows - Other source does give 21 cows for Lok - info PATS - 29 Sep 2013
One did bail out at the last moment, he was captured by Germans located in Blokzijl
After it was hit by the fighters a fire was starting in front of the plane (info: Sgt. Tarleton )
radio operator James A. Harnish was still in the burning plane
and didn't survive the crash, just 100 yards from the cemetery of Baarlo
Near Vollenhove, so-called Land-Veno "formely Ambt-Vollenhove", four men had already left the B-17G
Tarleton, Lambert, Gambino and Graney
4 bailed out from the waist - Tarleton - Lambert - Gambino - Vilk - in that order
5 from the nose - Graney - Hadfield - Montello - Richardson and Burke as last
Hendrik van Benthem (b.1902) is the brother of my paternal Grandmother Aaltje van Benthem (b.1903)

Two did land in the trees in the "Zuurbeek", before they could escape they became POW
Likely only one was taken POW, other was Richardson - info PATS - 26 Sep 2014
Another - Montello - landed near "De Oldenhof" - brought to Vollenhove by Harmen Visser
policeman Harmen Visser, planning to swith Montello into civil dress, borrowed from his neighbour Mr. Noback
but Visser's chief J. Nieland (Onderluitenant, Groeps-commandant Marechaussee Vollenhove) afraid for the Germans didn't go along with this
so Montello became POW and was brought to Zwolle by bus under German guard
( info Montello - Mrs. Martha Krijger ( née Noback ) - 10 Sep 2010 -
Bombardier Andrea Montello - wounded - being shot in the left leg - ( info - MACR )
Nickname of J. Nieland was "Dikke Jurrie" - info Jannes Schuurman - 30 Jun 2019
Some did land near camp "Oostvaart" - "Oosterringweg-Blankenhammerweg" - Section / Kavel M-148
While acting as labourers and wearing a coverall they (4) were mixed between the Dutch workers
At the end of the working day they were told to stay in one of the portable cabins - capacity 10 men
while been picked up later that day by the resistance people of Vollenhove - info: Lucas Folkert Huizinga (1917-2012) -
Above info of Huizinga is very unreliable - info PATS - 27 Nov 2015

They brought me to a farm where I changed clothes, later that evening a doctor
did remove a tiny piece of scrapnel from my right calf, about 4" below my knee
The wound was not larger then one inch. I also did leave my wrist watch at the farm
Stayed that night on the farm and slept in the barn
The resistance took care of the chute and uniform

for about 3 months. After nearly caught in a raid in that house
he was moved to Charleroi for a short time
When the Germans were picking up more underground members they were moved
to an underground maintained camp in the Ardennes Forest near Arlon for 2 months

Today I had the chance to meet one of the members of Uncle Jim's flight crew
when they were shot down over Holland.
I met with he and his wife this afternoon and talked for a couple hours.
He is 92 years old, and except for vision issues, is in great health.
I have attached a picture I took in his home office ( see below )
...............
He had some very interesting information from that time, and I showed him some pictures of our families, too.
They are a great couple and it was wonderful being able to spend time with them.
Thanks to our friend PATS in Holland for all the work he has done to make this day possible!!

"To PETER"
- collage by PATS - 27 Oct 2012 -
Peter Doye was the brother-in-law of my Uncle Dennis Attewell (my father James "Norman" Attewell, older brother),
who was married, as you discovered, to my Aunt Bertha F. Doye (always known to us as "Freda").
The death of Peter Doye had obviously been a very sad event for his family,
and on the wall of the front room of Freda and Dennis there always hung a framed picture of him,
with the caption "To Peter", and a small verse underneath starting and finishing with the line,
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
"If you had known this boy of ours, you would have loved him too..."

Dear PATS,
My main interest is in local earier schools, I create albums with information from former pupils.
The albums are available for visitors to study at the museum, taking the place of displays
on the schools after the boards are stored away.
From the local schools record books dating from 1912, I have the birth dates for the Doye children.
All attended Furzehill School and the entrance to the school was less than 500 metres
from where the museum is currently sited.
Their parents Bertha Matilda Naylor and Frederick Doye were married in 1906.

William - 1909

Peter's School days, in the football team and gymnastics display
- images courtesy Josephine Martin (niece) - via Ann Lawrence - 24 Oct 2012 -
Josephine Martin (niece) brought us photos of Peter's School days, in the football team and gymnastics display
in the playground, with a small sample of his handwriting and a sketch of his teacher,
he was at Furzehill from 1927 to 1936. There are a couple of pictures of Peter with his siblings.
There is more importantly, one of Peter in R.A.F. uniform.
A colleague has researched the local men of the two World Wars.
When she returns to the museum i will enquire if the information on the burial and Memorial to Peter
is duplicated and if there is any other data to contribute.

You mention that his parents, Herbert and Elizabeth Munday lived in Deal.
We can confirm that having searched our local street directories and Registers of Electors,
we have found the following entries:
1933 - H. Munday, 70 Davis Avenue, Mill Hill, Deal
1937 - 1968 - H. Munday, "Spenday", 120 St Richards Road, Deal
Unfortunately, we have been unable to find any information for the name Munday after this date.
Nor were we able to find any report of Arnold Munday's death.
"Spenday" ... likely shortening of Spencer Munday

In remembrance of Churwell’s fallen
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Seven soldiers who were members of Churwell Methodist Church and who died
during the first world war are the subject of a new book of remembrance.
To coincide with Remembrance Sunday, Tony Dunlop, from Harwill Avenue in Churwell,
has written about the seven servicemen, whose stories will be available to read at the church this weekend.
Here he tells their story.
In Churwell they will remember 58 men who died in the First World War and 11 from the Second World War.
Amongst those from 1914-1918 were seven soldiers associated with Churwell Methodist Church on Back Green.
A copy will be available in the Church and another copy has been presented
to the local history section of Morley Library – with my thanks for all the help I’ve received from the staff.
I am now working on a similar Book of Remembrance for the 11 from Churwell who died in the Second World War.
I’d be very pleased to hear from family and friends who have information or photographs that could be included.
There are some quite extraordinary stories to tell from those, including flights with the Parachute Regiment
and also the horrors during the building of the railways on and near the River Kwai.
All material offered will be returned – I would simply like to take an electronic copy.
I hope to have the book available for the anniversary of VE Day in May 2013.

Did send email to Tony Dunlop - 17 Jan 2013
! ! ! Breaking NEWS ! ! !
info and clips via Tony Dunlop, Churwell - 18 Jan 2013Hello Teunis - what a nice surprise to receive your Email.
I had come across you Blokzijl website and intended sending information about Leslie North
once I had completed the entry for the Churwell Book of Remembrance.
Your prompt means I will give you what I have now and I think resolve a few things for you.
I will also include bits from your website in about the crew and I really would like a copy
of the photograph from November 2012 showing the crew and the poppys.
I have attached the information I have - I didn't find the newspaper articles until just before Christmas.
The newspaper was the Morley Observer. You will see from the newspaper copy that we have the right man.
I believe Leslie was born in the last quarter of 1921 in Churwell.
He was a catholic and he attended St Bridget's Church - which is about 300 metres from where I am now sitting.
His parents were Anthony and Sophia (née Guthrie) who were married late in 1920.
The newspapers usually said if there were brothers and sisters or if he was the only son.
As it isn't specific I wonder if there were siblings and I know an Anthony North was born Q3-1924
and an Olive North Q4 1928, in Churwell to a mother maiden name Guthrie.
If you need any further information let me know.
Also let me know when your website for the flight is complete and I will refer to it in the Book of Remembrance.
Best Regards ...... Tony

Buried In Holland
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Mr. and Mrs. A. North, 36, Back Green, Churwell, were notified on Tuesday

missing on the night of February 15th-16th when taking part in a thousand-bomber raid over Berlin,
was killed when his plane crashed in Holland.

Pilot Officer - Hillyard Lowell Myers
Newspaper clipping - Source: Globe and Mail - January 31, 1942
Buried in Germany.
Official information from England stating that their son, Pilot Officer Hillyard Lowell Myers,
who was reported missing on Oct. 14, 1941, as a result of air operations two days previously,
had been killed and was buried in a Protestant cemetery at Kuinre, Germany,
was received yesterday by Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Myers 249 Arlington Avenue, Toronto.
The cablegram stated that official German information had been received at R.C.A.F. headquarters in
England as to Pilot Officer Myers' death, and the exact location of his grave in the cemetery was given
Pilot Officer Myers, 23 years of age, was a native of Saint John, NB, but came to Toronto at an early age.
He was a graduate of Vaughan Road Collegiate, and while a student there was prominent in sports
particularly in basketball, baseball and hockey.
He enlisted in October, 1940 and trained at Eglinton, Malton and Camp Borden, receiving his wings and
commission at Camp Borden on May 17 last, ranking second in his class. He proceeded overseas late
in June 1941, but while at Halifax, awaiting embarkation, he was selected as the R.C.A.F. representative
in a guard for the Victory Torch of last year's War Loan, prior to the departure of the Torch overseas
As a result of an accident to his aircraft, following a raid on Germany last August, he and the other
members of the crew were in hospital for a couple of weeks, but upon rejoining his squadron
he was appointed captain of a Wellington bomber in September.
A little over a month after resuming operations he was reported missing.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by a younger brother, Billy.
Kuinre is not in Germany, but in Holland
so the headline should be "Buried in Holland"

Hi Pats,
I have just started researching what I can find online about my grandad,
and stumbled upon your blog of [Harrogate] Surtees - Pateley Bridge - Fri, 2 Apr 2010
If there is anything you are still interested to find out then get in touch.
Unfortunately my mum passed away 4 years ago and she knew all his stories of the war,
but myself and my brothers pried as much out of him as we could when he was still alive,
and his first daughter Margaret is still alive and living in Pateley Bridge.
Hope you are well and still interested to find out more about Wilf or Silf
as he was known to his close friends and family.
I was really interested and thrilled to read all you have found out.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Losing 92 aircraft in a period of 32 months
The surviving aircrew members Surtees, Wooley and Penny also took part
in a TV-documentary directed by Jan van Hillo, called "Harvest of the Past"
Harry Penny, only living member now, still didn't see the film again after many efforts
to recieve a copy of this documentary by the NCRV have so far proven fruitless

Hello,
If you do not mind I would firstly like to correct and add to the information above.
James was in the RAF Auxiliary Air Force and not the RAFVR.
He was one of only a few men from the AuxAF to transfer over to aircrew.
His date and place of birth is 18 April 1912 at Northleach Gloucestershire.
He was also brother to Ronald and Margaret (both deceased). Religion - Protestant.
Corrections done - PATS - 09 Oct 2009
Jim joined the RAF on 5th March 1939 with 912 Barrage Balloon Squadron.
This sqn was one of 6 such Sqns whose task was to defend the war effort in Birmingham.
911, 912 and 913 protected the North of the city particularly Castle Bromwich airbase
and the Castle Bromwich spitfire factory. 914, 915 and 916 sqns protected South Birmingham.
I was told that 912 was transferred to France and was withdrawn with the Germans just 2 miles away.
They were evacuated shortly before Dunkirk.
Jim's service record does not record this directly but there is an entry for 5 days embarkation leave
and this usually refers to an overseas posting.
The sqn was later posted to Pucklehurst and 912 defended factories
at Brockworth Gloucestershire (not far from where he was born)
His application to become aircrew was accepted in June 1941
and he joined No. 8 Air Gunnery School in October 1941 and 19 OTU May 1942.
His first posting was to 158 sqn flying Halifax aircraft.
I know that 19 OTU provided aircraft for the first 1000 bomber raid on Cologne on the 31st May 1942
but I do not know if Jim flew as Air Gunner on this mission.
He had only been with the OTU since 23rd April.
Some of his first sorties was to drop leaflets over occupied territories.
In November 1942 just south of Paris on the way back from a sortie to Italy his aircraft was hit.
The pilot managed to get the aircraft back as far as Castle Bytham 5 miles north of Stamford Lincolnshire.
All the crew bailed out and the aircraft crashed on the edge of Morkeley Woods.
What the pilot did not realise was that these woods was the site
of the largest of Lincolnshire bomb dumps.
Fortunately the only damage was to the trees and no bombs exploded.
He received the Caterpillar Badge for this parachute drop.
On 6th January 1943 he was posted to 35 Pathfinder Sqn.
He took part in various sorties around Europe including several to Berlin.
He took part in laying markers for the bombing raids on Hamburg on the 24/25th July 1943 and again 27/28th.
The pilots after action report from the 27/28th concluded by stating 'a/c was over target too early
to see results but many small fires were seen burning to the North of aiming point on approach'.
This was the night of the great Hamburg firestorm.
His final mission was to Berlin.
The pilot who shot the aircraft down was the top German Night Fighter Ace
Jim was made Sergeant in January 1942 and Flight Sergeant March 1943.
As for me I don't know if I ever met him as I was only 6 weeks old when he died.
I hope this is helpful to you.
regards Derek Griffin, nephew

Hi Teunis
Thank you for your message.
Yes, we stayed with Jan and Wies and the children many years ago and
I stayed with Cor Meurs and his wife in 1978
Percy Cooke who is buried in the cemetery in Emmeloord
Was my uncle, my mothers brother
His plane was shot down when they were on a bombing raid to Germany in WW2
Do you have Jan's email address?
I look forward to hearing from you
Ashley (nephew) - 27 Jul 2017
Percy was my uncle, my mother Freda Cooke's only sibling.
I have twice visited his grave in Emmeloord, and my wife and I stayed with Cor Meurs,
the farmer who helped bury the bodies of the airmen.

Hi again Pats,
A little more information - Sgt. Stanley Byers is only entitled to four medals:
39/45 Star, Air Crew Europe, CVSM with clasp, and War Medal.
I know 'his' medals were once sold through a Canadian dealer a number of years ago
it was as completely 'made up' group. I think it even include the Italy Star! Rubbish
See his actual medal card with details showing medals returned undelivered

Dear Rev. Honnef. Mrs. Thompson of Tennessee writes me telling me you sent here some information regarding her son, and others buried at Vollenhove My husband Joseph R. Burke was one of them. Would like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness to everything you have done for me. Seems God has answered my prayers, by having such a friend as you to look after our dear ones. I'm afraid I'm mixing this all up, I know what I want to say, but puting it in writing are two different things again. So all I can say is God bless you & keep you always Any information you can give me will be deeply appreciated. Sincerely Mrs. Geraldine Burke 1527 Augusta Blvd Chicago 22, Illinois

Ray Kraszyk: I have an uncle interred at Margraten Plot H Row 9 Grave 18 - Joseph R. Burke
info - ABMC Cemeteries and Memorials - Facebook - January 28, 2011 at 04:48pm
Raymond Kraszyk wrote on 28 Jan 2011 06:27pm:
I am the nephew of Joseph R. Burke.
Until recent discovery, my family did not know what became of my uncle.
When I was young, my grandmother told me that she had recieved notification from the war department
that her son had been shot down and she did not know anything more than that.
We now know that my uncle was a top gunner in a B-24 named "Dark Rhapsody".
It was involved in a mid air collision with another B-24, "Shoo Shoo Baby" on 23 March 1944.
We now know that he is buried in Margraten Plot H Row 9 Grave 18
Most of my family has passed. All that remains is my mother and myself.
I am so relieved to see that my uncle is in such a beautiful resting place.
As a veteran myself, I truly apprecciate the care and honor that has been given to those that gave everything.

Dear Mrs. Honnef. Your letter and the flowers you sent me came a few days ago Thank you so much for your kindness. Rev. Raabe has written me that my husband died almost instantly God was merciful and spared him from the torture and agony so many of our boys had to endure in prison Camps His death was a terrible shock but I pray God daily to give me the strenght and courage to carry on. It is indeed a consolation to know his grave is being cared for an I appreciate it very much. Someday when transportaion is available I hope to take a trip to Holland to visit his grave Perhaps we shall meet. Thanks again for everything and God bless you. Sincerely, Mrs. Bogan Radich

- Rev. J. P. Honnef was known as "Karel" while with the underground - info PATS -
This 'tail section' was described by W. H. de Vries in local newspapers (80's) as a P-38 with Lt. Amich as the pilot
this misinformation ['Broodje Aap'/ BS] is still roaming around by 'hearsay'
Stoffel Lok (b.1934) was one of them ... "It was a German fighter and the pilot was brought to Zwolle and survived"
but in that same phone call on Wednesday 17 Feb 2021 I did explain him the REAL story of that day in 1944
No German, but a wounded American tail gunner who was brought to Meppel and died four days later due fatal injuries
Lok came up with a new item for me ..... "lots of chaff [small, thin pieces of aluminium]" ..... in that so-called 'Fighter'
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

VOLLENHOVE: zomerochtend 1944
Alleen als het echt ernstig is, noemt Joops vader hem bij zijn echte naam, Johannes.
Op een zomerochtend in 1944 is het zover. 'Luister even heel goed, Johannes. Jij fietst zo naar boer Klaas.
Er zullen een paar mannen achter je aan fietsen, ze blijven op 20, 25 meter afstand.
Als ze worden aangehouden door Duitsers, fiets jij gewoon door.
Je hoort niet bij ze en kent ze niet . . . . . .

Marla Okner (62) is de groep Kingma nog altijd dankbaar.
Ongeveer twee weken voordat Garrett crasht, overkomt haar vader Marlowe Olson hetzelfde . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . Ook Marla’s moeder weet maar weinig van het oorlogsverleden van haar man. Tot ze op een dag een
telefoontje uit Nederland krijgt. Het is dan 2009, net een jaar na de dood van Marlowe.
Aan de andere kant van de lijn zit Teunis Schuurman, een amateurarchivaris die zijn dagen inmiddels al meer dan tien jaar fulltime vult
met het vervolmaken van zijn missie: het achterhalen van alle vliegtuigen en inzittenden
die in de Tweede Wereldoorlog zijn gecrasht in en rondom Vollenhove. En vooral: foto’s van de betrokken soldaten verzamelen.
Hoe completer het beeld, des te groter de voldoening.
The more complete the picture, the greater the satisfaction.

HI, PATS,
I had a chance to talk to my mother and brother about the dollar.
I told him about the dollar and it turns out he has an identical dollar that he received from our father.
My mother, who is 89, remembers hearing that my dad and the others listed on the dollar wrote their names
on the dollar when they passed the Prime Meridian line on their way to the base in England.
I told my mom that the names on the dollar are not the same as the names my dad had in an autograph book
from gunnery school. Mom said that Dad was not able to travel with that group because he had an infection
and had to remain at the base a few days while the rest of his class shipped out.
Everyone in the family found the dollar story fascinating and we’re all hoping to learn more as the details become available.
I wonder if there are three more dollars with the same names somewhere in the world?
Sincerely, Sandy Dow née Richwine - 27 Oct 2012

After the March 5 date, there are no more flights listed
until Dad's first combat flight on 24 Mar 1944 over St. Dazire, France (7:00 hrs).
He probably flew from Africa to Attlebridge, England and then started on the bombing missions.

this is not true ....... many 'errors' in this book
- page 264 and page 265 are really unreliable and fairytales to me
as the author gives Gum as wounded and liberated 29 April, Moosberg, Germany
Douglas McCoy is given as an evader, etc.... but killed in the Ardennes just before liberation
AGAIN ..... totally nonsense

The most valuable thing I found after two years research in these 275 pages:
2nd Lt. Gordon R. Russell reidentified as 2nd Lt. Robert A. Gum !!!!
So Bombardier Russell was not buried in Zwartsluis but in Vollenhove - Grave 618
While Co-Pilot Gum was in Zwartsluis - Grave C 12 ( G 12 )

a new book will be published April 2007 - ISBN: 1402745176 -
Hardcover : Behind Enemy Lines : A Young Pilot's Story
About the Book:
An unforgettable autobiographical tale of survival during World War II.
DeMallie, pilot of a B-17, describes in riveting detail his successful bombing run
from England to the industrial center of Germany ( Merseburg ).
But things go very wrong on the return flight when his plane is struck by enemy fire
and the crew is forced to parachute into Holland.
Although a group of heroic Dutch resistance fighters try to hide him,
the Nazis eventually capture DeMallie and send him to a prisoner of war camp.
There, he endures hunger, cold, and brutality until the Allies finally free him.
Years later, he returns to Holland in search of his brave Dutch rescuers.
Found this item by accident - .50 gun of "Blanco Diablo" - Top Turret ? ( above water line )
