(d.14th Mar 1945)
My Uncle, William Joseph Sparkes, served with 514 Squadron, he was a WOp/Gunner and was killed by flack whilst returning from the Rhur, which I believe he had volunteered for, on 14th March 1945.
He was part of the crew which comprised of:-
Captain; K. G. Condict
Navigator; E.G. Winterbourne
Bomb Aimer; E. L. Thistlewood
MUG; P. L. Capon
Rear Gunner; E. Cornwell

If anyone can add to these details or point me in the right direction to do further research, I would be very pleased to hear from you.
