Sgt. Clifford Gorton
Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 428 Sqd.
from:Manchester
(d.25th June 1943)
My Uncle Clifford Gorton was in the 428 Sqdn R.C.A.F. He died on the 25th June 1943 and is buried in Eindhoven General Cemetery, Netherlands. I understand that he flew with the Canadians who were a man short for a mission. He was a rear gunner and radio operator. He was aged 23.
I would love to hear from anybody who could shed more light on this brave man. I have just received his war medals and am honoured and indebted to have these momentos on his behalf. I now live in Malta and will visit Eindhoven soon to pay my respects in person. Thank you for any readers who can assist me.
