Sgt. Pilot William Everard Smith

Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve

from:Wigan, Lancashire

(d.6th Feb 1942)

This was my father's elder brother. He was married to a Maureen. His death shattered his father who had lost his wife in 1939 from cancer. There was William Everard (1914/5??), my Dad Thomas Philip 1917, then Betty in 1921.

Being catholic, permission was granted to have his remains brought home to St.Gregory's Romanc Catholic, Chorley, Lancashire to be buried with his mother Lucy Maybel Smith.

I grew up so wanting to know how my uncle died. Neither my Dad Tom nor his sister Betty would elaborate. I think he was at RAF Lossiemouth in Scotland...definitely sent to Scotland...I live in New york and want my children to know these things....
