Sgt. Charles Edward Billard
Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 463 Sqdn.
(d.3rd March 1945)
I wish to find any survivors of my relative's crew. His Lancaster was shot down on 3/4th March 1945 whilst on a mission over the Dortmund Ems Canal. Two of the crew survived: Sgt J M H Millar, RAF and Flt.Sgt Eugene Foreman, RAAF. If anyone has information about these men, other air crew or ground crew, please contact me.
Other members of the crew were Sgt Charles Billard, RAF (my relative); F/Lt Francis Howells, RAAF; F/Sgt Douglas Bates, RAF; Flt Sgt Philip T Barlow, RAF; Flt Sgt Osric Elliott, RAAF. They flew from RAF Waddington, 463 Squadron.
Update
They are all buried in Collective Grave 24, D12-14, Reichswald Forest Cemetery.
