Sgt Arthur Reginald Bohn RAFVR

[Nickb]

I am researching the loss of a bomber during WW2. The details I have listed below. Would it be possible to put out a request to your members through your Journal or at meetings?

Halifax V coded NA-H LK635 of 428 Squadron RCAF (6 Group bomber command) based at Middleton St George.

This aircraft took off at 18.28 on the night of 22 September 1943 to bomb Hanover Germany. This is the last that is officially heard of this plane and its crew. It was reported as lost without trace and its crew are commemorated on the Runneymede Memorial.
During my search a crew has been found buried in Germany but they are shown as "Unknown" and it could also be possible to locate the aircrafts final resting place.

The crew were:

F/O H.E.McRae RCAF J/20195 KIA (Pilot)
Sgt W.E.Dickson RCAF R/156913 KIA
Sgt E.G.Miller RCAF R/183626 KIA
Sgt Donald Ernest Jeffery RAFVR 1862968 KIA
Sgt Arthur Reginald Bohn RAFVR 1415741 KIA
Sgt J.Wright RAFVR 1590868 KIA (my relative) of Hull East Yorkshire
Sgt Leonard Cotton RAFVR 1516171 KIA son of Leonard & Nellie Cotton, Sheffield

Of the RAFVR crew it is believed that Arthur Reginald BOHN was born in Lambeth. It is with this little piece of information that has led me to send this request.

Has or are there any researchers doing the BOHN family tree and have this man in there family?
Or has anyone come across him during their research?

It may be a long shot but any little piece of information could be of great importance.

Fingers crossed that some one may be of help

Regards

Nick

Many thanks suffolk*sue

This is what pushed me towards Lambeth. On the CWGC website Arthur has no inscription from family. So it is a long shot that I can find any of his living relatives.

As a follow on I have now an address from 1943 for Arthurs NofK which was his father

14 Oval Mansions Kennington London Se11

If this helps anyone locate either living or dead relatives i would be very grateful for the info.

Cheers

A long shot that this is still active, but thought I'd give it a shot... are you still looking for family?

Sergeant Donald E. Jeffery was my grandfather's brother, I've been trying to find more about him (which is how I stumbled on this).

I welcome any new links to any of these men or their families.
