115990 F/S Robert Calder Guy Royal Air Force 514 Squadron from:Glasgow (d.8th June 1944) I have been tracing my wife's late cousin F/S Robert C Guy and have come across the story of Sgt. J. Clarke who was in the same Lancaster Bomber that crashed landed at Le Celle Les Bordes on that fateful evening 8th June 1944, I have traced all the colleagues of Robert's plane, also traced Sgt J Clarke through Buchenwald C.Camp to Stalag 111. I would like to know if J Clarke is still alive or any relatives that has any knowledge of the crash, as we have visited the cemetery in France and the graves of the 3 colleagues who did not survive plus the 4th unknown person who died that night mentioned on the memorial put up by the French villagers in their memory. I would like to hear if P/O L.W.C Lewis is still alive or where he was taken when captured in Paris during Aug 1944 POW no. 86489 in Camp 12A/L1.
