S/Sgt. Lawrence Frank "Laurie" Watson
British Army Glider Pilot Rg.
(d.18th September 1944)
My father, Staff Sergeant Lawrence Frank Watson (Laurie), was a glider pilot at Arnhem - he flew in on the 'second wave' on 18th Septmber 1944 and was reported as 'missing - presumed killed'. I believe he took off from Keevil Airfield in Wiltshire. I have tried over the years to find out if any other pilots who landed with him knew what happened to him. I would be pleased to hear from others connected with the 1st Airborne operations in 1944. Dad was at Caen in June 1944.
