207009 Sgt. Jesse Jack Bowles Royal Air Force 104 Squadron from:57 Hatherly Road, Winchester (d.30th Sep 1942) I was only two when my Dad Jesse Bowles was killed and I was never told anything about him and have never seen a photo of him. We have contacted the War Museum and they haven't got one of him. He was based in Kibrit in Egypt. The other members of the crew were. - Sgt H C Hunt RAAF-Pilot
- P/O W N Ramage - Pilot.
- F/Sgt R Sillis RCAF-Air Observer.
- Sgt T L F Bailey RAAF-Wireless Operator and
- Air Gunner. Sgt J W Flint -Wireless Operator and Air Gunner
. They were all on board the Wellington Bomber Z-8514 and are still listed as missing when they were presumed lost without trace on September 30 1942. They have no known grave and are all commemorated on Air Forces Memorial at Alamein in Egypt. J.J. Bowles is commemorated on column 250. I would be extremely grateful if any one has a photo of him, or knows anything about him. Additional Information: | I am exploring my family history. Sadly, I do not have any information about Jesse Bowles, and indeed I am seeking information myself. Can you possibly tell me if your grandfather was Sidney Harold Bowles who married Louisa miles in 1913? Sidney was the brother of my grandfather Francis Joseph Bowles.
If you can help that would be greatly appreciated.
David Bowles
