3 WAAFs killed Battle of Britain
 

Hi guys

I understand that three WAAFs were killed (by bombing?) during the Battle of Britain. If correct, has anyone names, dates and details, please?

Stay safe
Brian

Currently in SW France-lack of people make it pretty safe!

Chris,

Can I take up your offer and ask you to review this list - and confirm if you know the cause of deaths of any of them. There are approximately 98 records that I would like to know more about. These are all deaths in UK during the BoB dates.

Sorry but I simply don't have the time to do what you ask

Re: 3 WAAFs killed Battle of Britain
 

Hi Chris - Do you have a list in a document somewhere so someone else can double check Thanks paul

Re: 3 WAAFs killed Battle of Britain
 

I do but not happy to hand it over at this time as a publisher is interested in a book on the forgotten many along the lines of the article I did for BaW some time ago

Re: 3 WAAFs killed Battle of Britain
 

Chris - OK I was hoping their was a published form in the future which would list these forgotten names

"
The attack on Biggin Hill was severe and all but put the airfield out of action. It also saw the deaths of two female ground personnel – ACW1 Edna Button and NAAFI lady Mary Cremin. 39 year old Edna came from Tasmania and is buried in Cray, Kent, whilst 24 year-old Mary came from Cork, Ireland, and is buried in Orpington."

It is the intention of listing by name all groundcrew killed or injured during the Battle, information being got from the Casualty Cards

Sounds like a cracking project... all the best.

And thanks for the previous article on BaW. Just going through it and had a query..

Could not locate Vosper in CWGC https://www.cwgc.org/find-records/fi...dditionalInfo= - is he not Commonwealth?

Typo-Vosper was wounded
