Sgt Ronald Edgar Clay from Sidbury, Devon
« on: Sunday 21 October 18 16:38 BST (UK) »
Hello,  Next year 22 June 2019 we will erect an RAF Memorial on the spot at Riethoven (Holland)where on the 22nd June 1944 a 44 Squadron Lancaster LM592 crashed which took the lives of the entire crew. Amongst them 19 year old Flight Engineer Sgt Ronald Edgar Clay from Sidbury,Devon who was the son of Ernest and Susan Clay.  Ronald rest at Eindhoven Woensel cemetery together with his fellow crew. We are in touch with the relatives of the pilot E.A.Canty from Australia and we would like to get in touch with the relatives of the entire crew to make it possible that they could attend the memorial service.
Thank you so much for your help,
Adrian
