Re: Bert Grimshaw DFC
Hello Phill,
If I have read them correctly details from the London Gazette are - RAFVR P/O from 30 Sept 41(LG 18/11/41,page 6643). F/Lt from 30 Sept 43. D.F.C with 228 Sqdn ( LG 28 March 44 page 1444). Also may be DFC was connected with the sinking of U-106 ? F/Lt Grimshaw was pilot of Sunderland III JM708 which was lost due to an onboard fire, over the Bay of Biscay on 17/01/1944, all crew were rescued. Also may be connected: Not of the same crew - F/Sgt Robert Arthur Morrison 228 Sqdn received the DFM date 28 March 44. He was Tails Gunner in JM708 a/c"N" in the sinking of U-106.

Re: Bert Grimshaw DFC
Admirable to be sure, but I am moving this as it is not particularly related to where it is posted.

Re: Bert Grimshaw DFC
Hello John,
Surely it would have been correct to have removed the complete thread to the General section rather than just the one post , originally post 4 ? Alex |
