Re: Capt Gerrick Clarence W 0-429635 POW on October 4 1943 in Belgium
This link may (also) be interesting: https://danmastersworldwar2.blogspot...areers-of.html
It appears that Gerrick's B-24 (s/n to be sorted out...) was returning from N. Africa to England. 567th BS was in process of ferrying back on 4 and 5 Oct 1943. Of names of assigned crew SSgt. Leopold J. Paulin (31083126) and Lt George T. Martin (O-795999) may be added as POW of the B-24 at Coxyde (the blogspot spells it correctly as Koksijde!). As already mentioned POWs Gerrick, Trumbly and Wilson (O-795328), they also were captured on 4 Oct 1943. This leaves the name of the 6th POW. Please note that some of the NARA POW records state N. African theatre... Also, 42-40701 is somehow recorded as 'MIA' on 4 Oct 1943 on the Cumulative Loss List for October 1943 and not SAL BD or SAL NBD. This page from the 389th BG website says 3 Oct 1943 and 'training flight' for 42-72802: https://389thbg.com/chrono2.htm. "Training" a typo for "transfer"" here? Cumulative loss list has MIA with date 4 Oct 1943 for 42-72802, but as unit 8th AF HQ. Regards, Leendert Last edited by Leendert; 30th September 2024 at 15:32. Reason: Additional info |
