A Trip Back
We went back to India when a Burmese hunter found a watch and on
the watch was inscribed a regimental number and from, said from
his mother, and this was Bill Rogers, a pilot from Halifax, and
this eventually got to the British High Commission in Rangoon.
They passed it through, it was identified who the watch belonged
to and it was one of the crews that didn't come back.
The Veterans Affairs, four years ago, assembled 25 members of the
Squadron and 27 family members and flew us back out to India,
for a full military funeral, and on the way there the families
were, to give them some sense of closure, I thought I'd tell them
how at the same time that they lost their, there were six people
in the aircraft that went down, when they lost their lads,
I had encountered a similar problem, only I survived.
