211699 Flt.Sgt. William James "Dennis" Mallen Royal Air Force 103 Squadron from:Ipswich, UK Hi my father William Mallon is still alive and well living in Adelaide South Australia. He was in the RAF and fought in the 2nd World War.
He was in the 103rd squadron in bomber command and was an air gunner over Germany between 1939 and 1945. He has many medals which he proudly wears on Anzac Day. I noted this year he was the only person still able to walk in his squadron. There were 2 other aged gentleman being pushed in their wheelchairs by their carers during the March.
Our family is very proud of our father and the sacrifices he has made to give us the best possible life we could have had. He is a man of few words when it comes to talking about his years during the war. He has told me he lost many of his mates as they were shot down in action. Can only assume they died or were captured by the Germans at the time. My youngest brother Nick has been researching and is very interested in any knowledge he can obtain about the number of flights and air attacks my father may have been involved in.
