Cpl. Sidney John Mathews BEM

Cpl Mathews was awarded the BEM for his brave rescue of two crew members of a Lancaster that crashed in December 1943. All the remaining crew members died in the crash. A book has been written about the crash by one of the survivors' daughters www.firebynight.co.uk. We are keen to contact the family to share information. We know that he went to South Africa after the war.
