Family Members sought
Posted: Wed Jun 13, 2018 2:11 pm
Greetings! My name is Iain Walker and I've posted to this site previously. My Grandfather, Denis Lloyd (RAF No. 947277, POW No. 23610, 7 Squadron), was the sole survivor of his Stirling bomber when it was shot down on August 25th, 1941 over Aach, Germany. I have done considerable research with the assistance of Uwe Benkel in Germany who located the crash site, which I am planning to visit next April. I have been attempting to locate any family members of Denis' deceased flight crew, as we are planning a memorial of sorts at the crash site when we visit. I live in New York and as such my research is internet based and I have no real access or knowledge of databases that might be available in the UK that might prove helpful. If anyone happens to come across this request and has any insight, I would be extremely grateful. I have made contact with the Allan family in Canada. My research shows that John Wright was Irish and that John Duncan Edworthy was also Canadian.
Thank you for putting this forum together, it's great.
Best wishes and cheers from the U.S.
