DENHOLM, James Pilot Offr (Nav) 157440 RAFVR 20 June 1943 France - Bretteville-Sur-Laize Canadian War Cem. If anybody has information about No 408 Sqn's role in this raid in general and about EQ-Y and P/O Denholm in particular I would be pleased to receive it. Many thanks in anticipation. Reply: Here is what happened according to two survivors. Date: June 19/20,1943 Aircraft: Halifax II Serial No: JD-107 Code: EQ-Y Target: Le Creusot Pilot: P/O R. Symes 141129 pow Flt/engineer: P/O D. Horner C-17468 + Navigator: P/O J. Denholm 157440 + Bomb Aimer: F/Lt M. Samuels J-17087 + Wireless Operator: P/O P. Quance A-411378 + Mid upper gunner: Sgt H. Brown R-120968 pow Rear gunner: F/O R. Ball J-12326 pow Time off: 21:59 Time down: missing Bomb load: 1 x 2,000 lb, 1 x 1,000 lb and 8 x 500 lb high explosives. Shot down by a flak gun and crashed near Caen. NAME. Symes R.A HOW MANY OPS. 20 DUTY. Pilot There was a full moon and very clear. Everything went according to plan. I flew out at 10,000 feet and bombed at 4,000 feet. I saw 2 JU-88 night fighters, but they apparently did not see me. Owing to the fact that I had no mid upper turret and that the operation was originally intended to be a low level one, I decided to fly back from the target low. The visibility was very good. I reached a turning point on course, here I saw 2 other Halifaxes one on either side about the same height as myself. Everything was quiet and I avoided all villages, towns, etc until I approached the French coast where I turned to starboard to avoid coastal flak and flew over Caen. 4 guns, 20 mm turret opened up all around, especially on the beams. The aircraft was hit and the port outer caught fire, but since it was still working I did not feather it. A searchlight picked me up dead ahead. The aircraft started to spin, having only one wing the aircraft crashed nose first and broke up on its back. I remember nothing about the crash. The rear gunner says the wing came off. I regained consciousness sometime later. The rear gunner and some German personal extracted me from under an engine. Does not think he hit the ground and tore the wing off. Fairly sure that the wing was shot off. Did not strictly follow the return flight plan. NAME. Ball R. J HOW MANY OPS. 14 DUTY. Rear gunner Took off from Leeming, Yorks on evening of June 19,1943. Headed south to target of Le Cruesot, France, bombed approximately midnight, single jet of light flak in target area, clear sky, full moon. On turning from target to return to base, pilot considered it best to avoid night fighter attack by descending to low level, 2 JU-88's having been spotted flying parallel course just after leaving the target. Passed over Caen at its western extremity , about 3 miles north we passed over a thin strip of trees and dead over a flak battery of which we were unaware of until it opened fire. The guns in the pits with soil and grain growing around and over them as was ascertained later when the German soldiers brought us to their O.Cs billet following the crash. On opening barrage of flak, the rear turret opened up to retaliate, aircraft penetrated through fuselage by flak, rear turrets guns damaged and reflector sight by a passing shell from starboard to port. Intercom still working, last message from pilot "well be out of this in a minute" port outer engine then burst into flames followed immediately by an explosion. The port outer engine and wing tip dropping away from the aircraft, with the aircraft dipping sharply to port, diving to the deck, hitting skidding on its nose and then giving a quick flip over. The rear turret becoming disengaged during the flip and landing some 50 feet away from the tail of the aircraft. On leaving the turret I crawled to the ****pit, found the pilot held in an inverted position by his harness in the ****pit. I tripped the harness and made him as comfortable as possible on the ground, bound a deep gash on his temple with a handkerchief and then endeavoured to locate the rest of the crew. The mangled remains of P/O Quance, the wireless operator, the only other member seen before my removal by German soldiers to the German billet, approximately 10-15 minutes after the crash. No. 408 "Goose" Squadron was a RCAF Squadron, based in Britain and under RAF operational command. The squadron operated as part of Bomber Command's main force from 24 June 1941 until the end of the war. From January 1943 it was part of No.6 (RCAF) Group. The squadron began operations with the Handley Page Hampden, before switching to the Merlin powered Halifax in September 1942. After just over a year these were replaced by Lancaster IIs in October 1943, and then by the Hercules powered Halifax III and VII. At the end of the war in Europe the squadron was converting to the Canadian built Lancaster B.Mk X, and in June 1945 it flew its Lancasters back to Canada in preparation for the planned invasion of Japan. The squadron disbanded after the Japanese surrender removed the need for Tiger Force, the planned contribution to the bombing campaign.

|
| 1739 | After leaving school he worked in the glass works and at various other temporary jobs. Because he could not get permanent work he went south, to London, seeking work. Eventually he found work with a plumber and later worked as a Barman. He was willing to turn his hand to anything It was at this time that he met Susan Plummer, who was a barmaid at the York Hotel, London. They married in a registry office at Lambeth. This was not good enough for Susan's sister who was a Roman Catholic nun. She insisted that they get married "properly" and so the ceremony was repeated in the Roman Catholic Church. Susan already had a son, Bernard, and Bill formally adopted him. "Called up" during WWII Bill was sent to Edinburgh Castle. It was whilst he was there that he was discharged as medically unfit. Not until much later did the family discover he had been discharged because he suffered from heart disease. He became the Caretaker of a block of flats at 20 Lowndes Square, London. He was decorating his flat and planning for Bernard's wedding. Bernard and Margaret were spending their honeymoon with them and so Bill was redecorating. He was very tired and went to bed on the Thursday night. He woke about 2.00 a.m. with a backache. Took a couple of codeine tablets. Went back to sleep and never woke up. | Aitken, William Wilson (I8394)

| 1740 | After leaving school Nelly went into service and became a Domestic Servant, first working for Mrs Sorley at Blackie Road., Edinburgh. Mr Sorley owned a "Furniture Emporium" in Duke Street, Leith. There Nelly managed to get her sister, Sarah (Chris) a job in the shop. Nelly then went to work for Mr & Mrs Shiels as a Cook & Housekeeper. Mr Shiels was a Portrait Painter and one time he was commissioned to paint a lady. This lady did not have nice hands and so Nelly was used as a stand in. Thus Nelly's hands ended up being hung in the Royal Academy in Edinburgh! Notes from Terry Stewart As a youngster William Kiddie Lumsden had left his family home in Perth and moved to Edinburgh. Finding work on the railways, as Clerk at Bonnington Railway Station in Edinburgh, he met my father, David Stewart, who also worked there. Dad befriended Willie and took him to a religious meeting at David Redpath's mission and it was there that Bill met Helen (Nelly). Bill was a member of the Territorial Army and so when WWII broke out he was called up immediately and made Corporal. As a member of the British Expeditionary Force he was serving in Belgium when they were told to retreat. He, his Sergeant and two men found themselves left behind in Belgium and so had to fight their way through the enemy lines to escape from Dunkirk. The sergeant was all for protecting himself and wanted Bill to abandon "Dougie", a friend of Bill's, as Dougie was a little slow, and was retarding the sergeant's escape. Bill sent the sergeant on his way and was never seen again. Managing to keep the troop together and after some harrowing experiences they eventually got to the coast. Dougie was freezing cold and found a dead German. He put on his overcoat, which caused problems when they reached the beaches. As they were being evacuated the sailors tried to beat back Dougie because they thought he was German. Uncle Bill, a very gentle gentleman, never mentioned any of this until about 1980 when they came back to WA on holidays. And so it came as a great surprise when he started to talk of his army time. After Nelly and Bill married they managed to get a house in the Goldenacre district of Edinburgh. It was when they were living there that their son Alistair was born. He was a sickly child and died 5 months later. Willie was still in the army at this time and so Aunt Nelly came to live with us at 14 Union Street, Leith. As uncle Willie did not smoke he used to swap his cigarette ration for sweeties which were then given to me. When Willie was demobbed they managed to get a house, a prefab, at Sighthill. After a couple of misscarriages Muriel was born but 8 months later she too died. A baby girl, Barbara, was adopted. After the war Bill had gone back to work on the railways but studied to become a Church of Scotland minister. He never formally completed his training but became a Lay Preacher. He was appointed to the Ministry of the Church of Scotland at Camden, New South Wales, Australia, in about 1951. We were then living at Sunshine in VIC. and so we met them at their ship when it docked at Melbourne on its way to Sydney. Resigning from the church in about 1953 they moved to 37 John Street, North Fremantle, WA, where Bill became a Bus Conductor and then a Storeman at the Shell Oil Company. About 1956 he was appointed to the Ministry of the Presbyterian Church at Merredin. After Aunt Nelly was diagnosed, as having breast cancer, the family moved back to Scotland in about 1960. He rejoined the British Railways as a Ticket Collector and later became a Left Luggage Clerk, at Waverley Railway Station. At the same time he and Aunt Nelly were Caretakers of various churches. In 1976 Maureen, Shona and I went to Scotland on holidays, staying with Aunt Nelly and Uncle Bill at St Nicholas's Church, Sighthill, Edinburgh, where they were caretakers. They met us at Heathrow airport and we stayed overnight at the Ariel Hotel. The next day we were driving to Scotland. Aunt Nelly was prepared for everything. She had marked out our route and out of this magical string bag she carried came everything one could need, biscuits, cake, cool drink and sweets just seemed to materialise. On 19 Mar 1984, when they were caretaking the church at Lochend roundabout, now demolished, Bill went down to water the roses in the church garden. When he did not return, for his dinner, Nelly went looking for him. She could not find him so went to another elder's house. The elder told Nelly to stay at his house whilst he went looking for Bill. He found him slumped against the back of the garden shed. He had died of a heart attack. After Bill died Nelly kept her flat but then found the neighbours left a bit to be desired and so moved into a retirement home, at 60 Loaning Road, Edinburgh. In June 2001 the fire brigade had to be called twice to her flat. The alarm had gone off as twice Nelly had forgotten pans on the stove and damage had occurred due to fires. She had to be taken to The Queen Victoria Hospital where it was found she was suffering from pneumonia and a recurrence of cancer. Nelly went downhill quickly and then seemed to pick up for awhile. The Wednesday before she passed away she seemed to rally sufficiently to say her goodbyes. | Aitken, Helen Sutherland (I8390)
