Hi Temujin, Many Thanks. It would appear that Sgt Buckley did fly to Malta, and was evacuated later as ill. I'll make that note in his TSGNO entry. Nice to see the sources for the articles. These have been cut out of the images on the Canadian Virtual War Memorial, along with photo captions, with th...

Hi All. Happy New Year, I hope! In my research I have reached F/S Morton Haist Buckley , R66343, lost from 401 Sqn. August 19, 1942 during the operations supporting the landings at Dieppe. Of interest articles posted on his page at the Canadian Virtual War Memorial mention that he had been sent to M...

Hi Georgetanksherman,

Mea Culpa. I wrote the Chronology on the Bomber Command Website and just discovered that error myself.

Entirely my mistake. Sorry it caused confusion, and it will be corrected in the next update.

Hi Temujin, Getting old is not for the weak. I will keep this in mind and only ask when I am really stumped. Most of what I am checking is easily found, but the Library and Archives Canada site on Canadian War Dead has been invaluable. But there are always questions that elude us from time to time. ...

Hi Temujin, Sorry for the delay in replying. Giving the families some details regarding the operations their relatives were on when they were lost, injured or taken PoW is part of the Chronology too. Which is why I have a brief synopsis of Bomber Command operations for each operation, culled from Mi...

Hi Temujin,

Impressive. I've never seen a post operation report before.

Hi Temujin,

I'm stunned! I really thought this would be a dead end.

But, hey, it wasn't.

Many MANY Thanks for this. I'll add it to the information in the Errata.

All the Very Best,

Hi, Been a while. I just got to F/S P.W. Gregory RAF, lost from 61 Squadron Lancaster R5615 QR-H June 27-28, 1942. He is listed in They Shall Grow Not Old as a Canadian, from Forest, Ontario. But the only record I can find on this airman on a web search indicates he was from Paignton, Devon, England...

Hi Temujin,

Thanks for the confirmation on the MiD. I just stopped in to check on my monthly clean-out of the computer.

I'll add it to the entry.

Hi Temujin, Sorry for the delay in replying, I was formatting the latest update to the Chronology. That update will include several references to this site, all your work. And I feel guilty at the amount of work you put into this matter. But I think you have covered it fully, and answered the questi...
