Letter, Page 4 – Vincent MacCausland - last letter page 4 of 4 Last letter home to his mother Adaline McCausland. F/O MacCausland was the bombaimer that breached the Mohne Dam in Germany - and was one of the Dambusters to perish. He crashed into the Dutch Coast after six batteries hammered the Lancaster AJ-A from behind. Very few people from my old villiage know about him. Too bad. -
