501380 Sgt. AW Booth RAF 10th Squadron (d.1943-06-29) My father's cousin, Sgt A.W Booth, was stationed at Melbourne. He was an air gunner and flew with the 10th Squadron from Melbourne on the raid on Cologne on the 28th of June 1943. The Halifax was shot down near Limburg in the early hours of the 29th. The only survivor was Flt Sergeant Shannon who was captured. The dead are buried at Jonkerbos War Cemetery in Holland. I would be very interested to find out if anyone is still around who may have known Sgt Booth.
