210726 F/Sgt. John Lee Royal Air Force 103 Sqd. from:153 Sheldonfield Road, Sheldon, Birmingham (d.7th Aug 1944) My Uncle John Lee, my dad's eldest brother, was only 22 when the Halifax Bomber crashed in the mouth of the River Humber. After being shot at they managed to get to England, he had been been navigating the aircraft at the time. My dad often talked about him. My dad was one of 8 children who have all died now. My dad was so proud of his brother. My dad, Frank Lee, was in the Commandos and also served with the Yorkshire Regiment, The Green Howards. I am so needy of seeing a picture of my uncle. He had red hair my dad said and my dad passed away before I could find any more information about him, but I know he is buried in a grave at Yardley Cemetary Birmingham.
