I am looking for information on which POW camp he was at and also what medals he received. I am his son and would like to get the well-deserved medals back in the Clements family. My father lost his records and medals. My hero father served in North Africa, Italy, and Holland.

Sgt. James Douglas Clements . Royal Air Force WOP/AG 12 Sqd. from Cambridge My Dad, James Clements was a Wireless Operator Air Gunner and since my Dad's death in 2006 I have taken great interest in his service life. Binbrook is one of the airfields he often mentioned. I regret that I was not able to learn more about his service life while he was here but wonder how much he would have been comfortable with telling me.
This website has helped me hugely in piecing together where to start and how to find out more including journeys to Lincolnshire that have enabled me to understand the way it was. A recent visit to East Kirkby where some 12 Sqn memorabilia is held was very special for me and I can recommend a trip to this museum for any others who are undertaking such a trip down their own or their loved one's memory lane.

Corporal Walter Clements . British Army 100 Sqd Royal Monmouthshire TA Royal Engineers from Newport, Gwent My grandfather was a member of the BEF who formed the screen force at Dunkirk. He was captured by the Germans in the Dunkirk area and taken to Stalag 8B where he saw out the war.
He never spoke much about his time in the camp. I would therefore be interested to find out if anyone still alive remembers him. I believe he took part in the "death march" but am not sure.

(d.7th May 1944) Flying Officer Justin Clermont was killed when his Typhoon (JR257/HH-W) crashed on the Stansted Park Estate, Rowlands Castle, Hampshire on 7th May 1944 when, according to eyewitnesses, his engine caught fire a few minutes after taking off from RAF Tangmere unfortunately a well known phenomenon with the Napier engine fitted to the Typhoon).
A simple wooden War Memorial to Justin was erected at Stansted Park by Mr Graham Alderson in 1944 which, unfortunately, has deteriorated over the last few years.
The Friends of Stansted Park Committee have now rebuilt the memorial as a fitting tribute to perpetuate Justin's memory.
Justin was born on 11th November 1921 in the small town of Cochrane, Ontario, Canada. His parents were Joseph Agapit Clermont and Delima Clermont (nee Lalumiere).
Justin's RAF Squadron was based at Homsley Airfield in the New Forest. His body is buried in Brookfield Military Cemetery.

Flt Sgt. Vincent Alton Francis Cleveland . Royal Canadian Air Force Bomb Aimer 419 Squadron from Mildenhall, Suffolk (d.31st Aug 1943) My great uncle, Vincent Cleveland, was just a kid of 22 when his Halifax #JD 464 was shot down on August 31st 1943 over the Black Forest near Weisenburg, with his pal - the same guy who had just been best man at his wedding, Sgt R Stewart and who was piloting the plane to its final resting place. Together forever....
The crew bailed out safely from their big kite after being shot at and down by a few ju.88's, except for a head-wounded Sgt D H Garland who fell off the back of his mate Sgt A Embley at about 2000 ft, when he tried in vain to save his life.
The crew were taken prisoner and were later released & repatriated after the end of the war.
My question is does anyone know if any of this crew is still alive? They are Sgt H R Tenny, P/O S E James, Sgt A Embley and Sgt L Northcliffe.
I am trying to put the pieces together for a family project.
