Photo of Leo Bernard Labarge - 1940 – Flight Sergeant Leo Labarge was two years younger than his brother Bernard and was known as a young air gunner with a great sense of humour and adventure. He was shot down on the 30th day of September 1942 near Trigh Capuzzo, Lybia and was buried there by German forces. His body was not discovered until March 1943 and news of his death was confirmed to his mother during the same week as the death of her older son, Pilot/Officer Bernard Labarge. Flight Sergeant Leo Labarge was with the 148th Squadron and is buried at the Knightsbridge War Cemetery, 25 kilometres west of Tobruk, in open country south of the main road from Tobruk to Derna and Benghazi.
