213597 P/O. Lloyd George Harris Royal Australian Air Force 106 Sqn from:Wyalong (d.11th Aug 1943) Pilot Officer Harris (RAAF) was my grandmother's cousin from Australia. Lloyd was posted to 106 Squadron in 1943 as a Pilot flying the Lancaster. He completed his flying training at No.10 E.F.T.S. Temora in country NSW Australia. This is where he met his wife Sylvia Lachlan and where they got married on the 17 Jan 1942. On the night of 10/11th of August 1943, having been posted to the squadron for only a "few" days and on his 3 operational mission, he failed to return from a bombing mission over Nuremburg Germany. He was 21 years old. A letter was received from the then C.O. of 106 Squadron Wing Commander R.E. Baxter informing his parents of his death. He was greatly impressed with his "obvious enthusiasm for flying", further adding "How appreciative we are of the motives which brought him from Australia to help us" R.I.P.
