236697 F/O. Lester Lloyd Mortimer Royal Canadian Air Force 192 (Special) Sqdn. from:Edmonton, AB, Canada (d.25th April 1944) My uncle Lester Mortimer enlisted in the Air Force against his mother's wishes. She was a pacifist. He joined on April 30th, 1942 and was married on 23rd January 1943. After a two-week honeymoon he shipped out to Halifax from where he was sent to England. He died in the bombing of Karlsruhe, Germany at the age of 22. He is buried in Antwerp and the family always assumed that he died there. With the help of the Internet we now know differently. His squadron was assigned to test radar blocking devices. And to quote this site: No 192 Squadron flew more sorties and suffered more losses than any other RCM squadron. His evaluations describe him as an intelligent and very personable fellow. He was a great loss to our family.
