Flt.Sgt. Peter Guthrie Cullen
Royal Air Force 166 Squadron
from:Torrance of Campsie, Stirlingshire
(d.24th Dec 1944)
Peter Cullen was my uncle. Sadly I never knew him as I wasn't born until a few years after the war ended. Peter and his fellow crew members were shot down and killed on Christmas Eve 1944. He was 23 years old and had just spent some leave at home where he persuaded my grandparents to allow him to have a huge party; a premonition perhaps that this would be the last time that he would be home.
He is buried in Rhineberg Cemetery in Germany. I know very little about his service except that he was based at RAF Kirmington.
