WO. Harry Ashley Corns

Royal Air Force No.53 Squadron

from:Aberdare

(d.7th Jun 1944)

My uncle, Harry Corns, was reported missing in action after failing to return from an operational flight on 7th of June 1944. The squadron formed part of Coastal Command based at St. Eval in Cornwall. It performed anti-submarine patrols and, as the date indicates, was supporting the D-Day landings. Even though no wreckage was found, the body of one of the crew washed up on the French coast. At his death, my uncle was 26 years old and had been married for only 3 weeks.
