Re: No.56 OTU ORB
John, EXCELLENT! thanks so much for the fast response, I live in Northamptonshire and I intend to investigate the incident for our remembrance society. I wonder if you can help me further regarding this Free French pilot. Does the ORB state his full name? Does the ORB mention his burial? I quickly checked CWWGC site but found nothing perhaps his remains were taken back to France? Or, did he manage to bale out?
Kind regards and thanks again, Melvin Last edited by Melvin Brownless; 26th April 2012 at 01:00. Reason: Spelling error |

Re: No.56 OTU ORB
The French SGA website has the following information about Henaux.
Robert Jean Henaux, nickname 'Harvey Bob' DOB - 09-01-1920, City & Location of birth - Paris 12e, 75 Seine Sergeant, No.56 OTU RAF There is no mention of a burial location, no record on TWGPP site either. |
