Missing airman : RAF matricule 48949

[arnaud]

This is a mean regional law erected by mean people to protect in Nord - Pas-de-Calais one or two French persons...

Equality between citizens, in this region, is not fact which is shameful... But I do not care at all, I don’t live there.

This region is the first victim. In the future, when all witnesses are dead and information lost for ever, young people will have then only one person to blame : the DRAC - Nord Pas de Calais : the worst administrative service I have ever been in contact...

Believe me or not: they thought that aircraft pieces is worst a lot of money. This is perhaps right in England (I don’t really know), but in France it is worth nothing.

Bon courage

Thank you for that informative post.

On 19 April the funeral service of Sgt W J Smith RAAF will take place in France with his family from Australia present. The family are delighted at this outcome. Meanwhile, against that positive background, it is understood that enquiries by the authorities are ongoing with the possibility remaining of some legal action and who, apparently, would have prevented the discovery and identification of Sgt W J Smith.
