    WW2 Bomber crew memorial

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

    Only one survivor; one of the gunners.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    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.
