William Allsopp . British Army Royal Leicestershire Regiment I am trying to find out what happened to my mother's brother after WW11. My mother is now 86 yrs old and not
in good health and has not seen her brother since the war and does not
know what happened to him. His name is William Allsopp and his wife's name was Barb I believe. We believe he was with the Royal
Leicestershire Regiment Many times she has said she wanted to find out what
happened to him but we did not know how to go about it until today when
my son sent us an e-mail about the Royal Leicestershire Regiment cap
badge in this photo. Can anyone help?

Sgt. Raymond Henry Alvey . Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 144 Sqdn. from Nottingham (d.22nd Nov 1942) Raymond Alvey was my mother's younger brother. He was in the RAF Volunteer Reserve and was called up in September 1939. He served in Coastal Command with 120, 489 and 144 squadrons as a wireless operator/air gunner. He was on an operation over the Norwegian coast in a Handley Page Hampden, when he was shot down and reported 'missing believed killed in action'. Raymond's father (my grandfather) George Alvey spent a lot of time trying to find out the details but to no avail. Later research suggests that his body was probably recovered by the Germans and buried at sea, although this is not confirmed.
Raymond's fellow crew members were Sqn Ldr John Richard Darbyshire Hird, Sgt Davidson William Hepplewhite and Sgt Robert John Coles.
Raymond wrote detailed diaries of his three years of service. I also have his father's correspondence with the Air Ministry and Red Cross when he was trying to find out what had happened and where Raymond and the other crew members might have been buried. (It seems likely that they were buried at sea by the Germans). There is a commemorative plaque near the site of the crash and the crew are also commemorated at Runnymede.
I am intending to write a biography of my uncle, based on the above sources, operations record books etc, and would be pleased to receive any information that might be relevant. I would particularly like to hear from descendants of the other crew members, and from those who might have served in 144 squadron at RAF Leuchars in November 1942, or in 489 squadron earlier that year.
