WW2 Bomber crew memorial

Here is a photo of a small memorial attached to a village church here in France.
I'm a few days late with the date; it was 7th January 1944.

Only one survivor; one of the gunners.
Attachment 114096

Thanks for sharing. Its touching to know these little memorials still exist. Those men, and those like them, earned the right to never be forgotten.

I think they always shall too. I was looking for details of this crew and found another four or so...that went down the same day taking a shot at sub pens in Bremerhaven. They too had memorials like this and are of course well tended. Just like the Commonwealth cemeteries from WW1... Everything from a few men to thousands.
