Flt.Lt. Elmer Joseph "Bob" Hawn DFC
Royal Canadian Air Force 429 (Bison) Squadron
from:Maple Creek, Saskatchewan
My dad Elmer Hawn was stationed at York, where he was a pilot with 429 Bison Squadron.
After the war, we moved to Lehbridge, Alberta in Canada, where Dad was a Research Scientist at the Lethbridge Research Station. 429 Squadron is affiliated with the Lethbridge Royal Canadian Legion, who sponsor a fly-past annually on Remembrance Day. Currently my mother, who is 99 (born in 1919) is the only living widow of Dad's crew, and has been honoured several times by the RCL at their Remembrance Day ceremonies.
He died in April 1991
