211320 F/Sgt. John Leonard Potter Royal Air Force 114 Squadron from:Barking (d.25th Aug 1944) This is the story of my late mum's "baby" brother John Potter that I never remember meeting. I am now doing my Family History and found details and photos of him which my mum had kept. I have the last letter which he wrote to her on 22nd July 1944, just one month before his plane crashed in the sea on the 25th August 1944 and he was drowned. He was only 21 years old and such a handsome young man with his life ahead of him. I also have the letter from F/L D. G. Smith, Adjutant, informing my grand parents that his body had been recovered from the sea on the 3rd September and buried that day in the Allied Cemetery,nearby at Florence. I have a picture of the grave showing his number and name. Also the letter from the Air Ministry dated 10th January 1945 detailing the balance of monies due to my grandmother who was to inherit under his will. The amount was £80, 17 shilling and 10pence, not much for a life was it? He was just one of many who gave their lives, long may they be remembered.
