[SteveR]

In Bomber Command Losses volume 2 Chorley gives the crew for the No. 104 Squadron loss on 19/20 August 1941 as:

F/L W.W. Burton
Sgt. K.M. Moorhead RAAF
Sgt. J. Haney
Sgt. H.E. Johnson
Sgt. D.C. Marshall RCAF
P/O J.O. Rogers RCAF

Chorley also says that "the body of Sgt. Haney washed ashore on 19 September at Norderplep and was laid to rest at Büsum. Since 1945, he has been taken to Kiel War Cemetery."
