247281 Sqd.Ldr. John Philip Liversidge Royal Air Force 178 Squadron from:Castlemaine, Victoria, Australia (d.17th August 1944) My father, John Liversidge, whom I never really knew because I was so young. He was an educator in the small rural town of Castlemaine in Victoria, Australia. After pre-service training in Australia and Canada he became part of the RAF Bomber Command. In August 1944, 178 Squadron were involved in flying from Italy to Poland to drop supplies in support of the Warsaw uprising. On the night of 16/17th August Squadron Leader Liversidge was navigator of a B-24 Liberator bomber that was shot down over Krakow in Poland. Evidently the plane crashed alongside Oscar Schindler's factory. Many years later, in 1986, a memorial plaque was placed next the factory. Three airmen are named on the plaque, although more were killed. The crew are buried in the Rakowicki Military Cemetery in Krakow.
