Thomas Henry Harvell - 514 Squadron

Post by Bruno »

Hello,

Thomas Henry Harvell (Flight Engineer) was one of the only two survivors of a crew of seven when his Lancaster of 514 Squadron was shot down on the night of 28 to 29 July 1944.
Thomas sadly passed away on 3 June 2012.
As he wished, Thomas' ashes have been buried alongside his 5 comrades in Neufchateau Cemetery, France.
Here are are below a few links (on the french page, on the group photo Thomas is third from right with the RAF badge):
