FS Harry Paul 996604 RAF

Post by Paul Squires » Sun Apr 19, 2026 1:10 am

Hi All,

Wireless Operator Air Gunner FS Harry Paul 996604 RAF is listed in the book They Shall Grow Not Old as a Canadian from Woodstock, Ontario. He was injured September 7-8, 1942 in the crash of #20 OTU Wellington T2913, and succumbed to his injuries September 9.

The Find a Grave website is very informative, but there is no indication that FS Paul had any connection to Canada.

Can anyone shed light on this?

Paul
