Re: S/Sgt G.A. Stidham, USAAF
Hello,
From the armyairforces.com website. Marc Benson of Wisconsin reports that- "S/Sgt. Stidham and fellow crewmate S/Sgt. Garland L. Strang were both killed when they wandered into a minefield. I think it was at the Snettisham Gunnery range." All for now Alex

Re: S/Sgt G.A. Stidham, USAAF
Ooops... Alex beat me to it.
Marc, over on the armyairforces forum has posted that Stidham and Strang were killed when they walked into a minefield, possibly on the Snettisham Gunnery range. This accident apparently happened 18 May 43. http://forum.armyairforces.com/tm.as...mpage=1#211572

Re: S/Sgt G.A. Stidham, USAAF
All,
Thanks very much for your efforts in solving this issue. It turned out to be a sad story. Being killed in action is bad enough, but airmen wandering into a minefield during gunnery training must probably rank high on the list of tragic and unlikely ways to get killed. Kind regards Ivo de Jong
