Excerpt from letter sent from Arthur Sedgwick to his brother William on October 6, 1943:
"I suppose you are wondering what it is like flying over here and I can tell you it's pretty exciting and also very grim. As we are on the night shift, we see very little of the country, but there is more than enough to keep us busy when the searchlights cone us and shrapnel is bursting around us and night fighters are constantly on our tail. Indeed it's not a very pleasant business at all and believe me you are lucky you are not in it. I could put those planes you used to fly in between the wheels of the one I'm flying. It seemed funny at first to be sitting twenty feet off the ground but I soon got used to it."

Letter from the RCAF to Arthur Sedgwick's mother, November 1947.
Sedgwick was the only member of his crew that did not survive. It was learned later that he had stayed at the controls of his Halifax Bomber as it was going down, buying enough time for the others to bail out.

CIMETIÈRE DE GUERRE DE RHEINBERG Allemagne
La ville de Rheinberg se situe à 24 kilomètres au nord de Krefeld et à 13 kilomètres au sud de Wesel, dans la localité de Kamp Lintfort, Nordrhein-Westfal. Le cimetière se situe à 3 kilomètres au sud du centre de la ville de Rheinberg sur le chemin allant vers Kamp Kintfort. À partir de l’autoroute 57, tournez à Rheinberg et, à la jonction T, suivez l’autoroute 510 vers Kamp Lintfort. Le cimetière se situe à une courte distance sur ce chemin à droite. L’Army Graves Service a choisi le site du cimetière de guerre de Rheinberg en avril 1946 pour rassembler les sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth récupérées des nombreux cimetières allemands se trouvant aux environs. La majorité de ceux qui sont maintenant enterrés au cimetière étaient des aviateurs, dont les tombes ont été apportées de Dusseldorf, de Krefeld, de Munchen-Gladbach, d’Essen, d’Aachen et de Dortmund; 250 des tombes ont été apportées de Cologne. La plupart des hommes qui sont enterrés ici et qui viennent des autres services de combat ont perdu la vie durant la bataille de Rhineland ou en se rendant du Rhin vers l’Elbe. À l’heure actuelle, 3326 militaires du Commonwealth de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale sont enterrés ou commémorés au cimetière de guerre de Rheinberg. De ces tombes, 156 ne sont pas identifiées. Il y a également neuf sépultures de guerre qui viennent d’autres nationalités, dont la plupart sont polonaises.
Pour plus d’informations, visitez la Commission des sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth (site disponible en anglais seulement).
