20134 F/Sgt. John Maxwell Robertson 100 Squadron (d.25th Apr 1944) "I am trying to find out info on a cousin of mine, John Maxwell Robertson (he may have used his 2nd name of Max) who was killed in action on the 25th April 1944. He was an Australian serving in 100 Squadron RAF as a rear gunner on a Lancaster Bomber and was returning on his last mission when his plane was shot down over Belgium. I have been searching the net for any small bit of info about him, but to no avail. Could someone please help? UPDATE: Taken from Bomber Command Losses 1944 (W.R.Chorley)
