On 31 July 1944, the crew of Halifax LV 950 was airborne at 2151 from their base at RAF Leeming on a mission to attack the V-1 Site at Couqereaux. They failed to return from the operation and later word was received through the International Red Cross that the aircraft had crashed behind German lines and all the crew were killed. They rest together in a plot in the St-Martin-au-Bosc Communal Cemetery. They were:
P/Os John R. Irish (P); John A. Santo (N); Hugh B. Gilmore (AG); P/O (AG) Gordon Lindensmith (AG)
F/Os (WAG) Wm. J. Wright (WAG); John E. Gloeckler (BA) and RAF P/O Reg. T. Walsham (FE).
