Re: Sgt George Wilhelm KRAUS +(1313571)
Hello,
Intriguing memento found in antique shop. https://www.reddit.com/r/Militariaco...ind_this_man/? George Wilhelm KRAUS, was of the Jewish faith. His entry in "We Will Remember Them", simply reads: The Royal Air Force - Kraus, G. W. - 611 Squadron. See: We Will Remember Them: A Record of the Jews Who Died in the Armed Forces of the Crown from 1939. Morris,Henry & Martin Sugarman. London:Vallentine Mitchell,2011 (2nd ed.). p.171. Col.
