WO II Douglas Wilson Milliken

Royal Canadian Air Force 51 Sqd.

from:Saskatoon, Canada

(d.4th Dec 1943)

I am the nephew of Doug Milliken. If anyone knew of Doug or any of his crew while at Snaith squadron 51 from July to Dec 1943 I would love to hear from you. Prior to squadron 51 he was stationed at 1663 heavy conversion unit in Rufforth and prior to that 10 OTU in Abingdon then St. Eval. While at Snaith their Halifax, HR732, was lost without trace on the Leipzig raid of Dec 4 1943. All are memorialized at Runnymede.

The crew were;

  • P/O A.J.Salvage
  • Sgt W.W.B.Hamilton
  • P/O F.J.Baker
  • F/S I.G.Davies
  • Sgt M.Hampson
  • Sgt R.J.Edwards
  • F/S D.W.Milliken RCAF
During the crews brief time together Doug was the best man for the marriages of both Auther Salvage and Maurice Hampson. Doug was engaged at the time of his death and although his fiancée returned the ring to my grandmother we have no idea who she was.
