John Dudley
« on: Thursday 15 February 18 00:35 GMT (UK) »
Could someone see if they find information on the above person please. I don't have a middle name for him.

John Dudley was a crew member of a crashed WW2 RAF bomber which came down in North Essex in 1943.

I believe he is buried in Titsey St. James churchyard in the S.E.corner.

The aircraft travelled from Pocklington and came down near Ardleigh Essex on 25th February 1943.

John was the son of George William and Grace Dudley of Titsey. He was age 20.

Many thanks.
