245939 FO Leslie Samuel Drew DFC Royal Air Force 99 Squadron from:Walworth, London (d.1945) My uncle Leslie joined the RAF after the family home was partially destroyed by incendiary bombs. He first flew Lancasters over Germany taking part in raids on Berlin, Frankfurt and Cologne plus many other targets in Germany. I understand that he did about 3 tours until Germany surrendered. He then, apparently, volunteered to transfer to 99 Squadron flying Liberators out of the Cocos Islands. It was there while dropping supplies to ex Japanese prisoners that his aircraft went missing. He was awarded the DFC posthumously which my father received from Buckingham Palace. Unfortunately, I know little of his story & I am in the course of research trying to complete his story for my kids & grand children Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
