Flt.Sgt. Brian Howard Helps Wilson

Royal Air Force Voluntary Reserve 500 Squadron

from:Llanelli, Carmarthen, Wales

(d.8th Sep 1942)

Brian Howard Helps Wilson was my grand uncle, on my mother's side of the family. He was the 22 year old son of Sydney and Annie Tegwedd Wilson from Llanelli, Carmarthen in Wales. Brian was engaged to be married at the time of his death. He went missing in action and is remembered with honour on the Runnymede Memorial, panel 77. Brian's unusual middle name - Helps, comes from his father's side of the family. It was the maiden name of his grandmother Jane Helps.

Both of his brothers survived WW2. His younger brother, Leslie Hugh Wilson, was known as Les. His older brother, who was my granddad, was called John Graham Roy Wilson but was known by his second name Graham.
