Gordon J Waddington-Allwright Wiltshire House, Hungerford, Berkshire.

[David Layne]

I am interested in Gordon J Waddington-Allwright who gave his wartime address as Wiltshire House, Hungerford, Berkshire.

Waddington-Allwright was stationed at the Central Gunnery School and was an airgunner in Wellington N2894 that was shot down by a Messerschmitt 110 night fighter at 02:25 near Hessen-Allee, 8km. south-east of Apeldorn on the return flight of the first 1000 bomber raid against  Cologne 30/31 May 1942.

Waddington-Allwright and my father Walter Layne were POWs together at Stalag Luft VI and Stalag 357.

I am attempting to find a photograph of all of the prisoners named in my father’s POW “Wartime Log” and am hopeful that through this site someone can provide one of Gordon Waddington-Allwright.  My efforts so far can be seen here, https://wallyswar.wordpress.com/other-pows/

Here is Gordon Waddington-Allwright's entry in my father's POW "Wartime Log."



Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you checked for a marriage for him and then checked to see if any children were born to the marriage?

No.
