201305 Flying Officer Peter "Butch" Clark Royal Air Force 418 Squadron from:Twickenham (d.18 July 1944) from left to right: Brown, Lissen, Kerr, Clark of 418 Sqd. Looking for information about F/O Peter Clark. He was a navigator with 418 Squadron, flying Mosquitos. On 18 July 1944 he and his pilot, Jim Kerr, RCAF, went missing. Clark´s body was later found washed ashore in southern Sweden and he is buried at Malmo Eastern Municipal cemetery in Sweden. I work at the Malmo City Archives and am writing about the 10 allied airmen who are buried here. Clark is one of them and the one it is most difficult to find any information about. If you know anything at all, please contact me. I know he was married a couple of months before he died; his wife´s maiden name was Betty Ring. She lived at 12 or 14 Princes Square, W.2. at least during 1944-1947. But then where did she go? Thanks in advance for any help.

The free section of the Wartime Memories Project website is run by volunteers. We have been helping people find out more about their relatives wartime experiences since 1999 by recording and preserving recollections, documents, photographs and small items. The website is paid for out of our own pockets, library subscriptions and from donations made by visitors. The popularity of the site means that it is far exceeding available resources and we currently have a huge backlog of submissions. If you are enjoying the site, please consider making a donation, however small to help with the costs of keeping the site running.
