Photo of John La Pointe Berry – John LaPointe Berry was born in 1922 and was raised at Myrtle MB. John joined the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and trained as an Air Gunner. He served under Bomber Command #6 Group in 424 Squadron out of Skipton Swale in England. Mid Upper Gunner Berry was on his third bombing mission (The Nuremberg Raid Mar.30/31 1944) when #LV944 was shot down over Schweinfurt, Germany. The Halifax III crashed at Falkenstein, Germany and all seven crew members perished. P/O Berry (J90142) was laid to rest at Durnbach War Cemetery in Germany at the young age of 21. He is thought about often and a Hero in my eyes.
