Sgt. Jesse Jack Bowles
Royal Air Force 104 Squadron
from:57 Hatherly Road, Winchester
(d.30th Sep 1942)
I was only two when my Dad Jesse Bowles was killed and I was never told anything about him and have never seen a photo of him. We have contacted the War Museum and they haven't got one of him. He was based in Kibrit in Egypt.
The other members of the crew were.
Sgt H C Hunt RAAF-Pilot
P/O W N Ramage - Pilot.
F/Sgt R Sillis RCAF-Air Observer.
Sgt T L F Bailey RAAF-Wireless Operator and
Air Gunner. Sgt J W Flint -Wireless Operator and Air Gunner
.
They were all on board the Wellington Bomber Z-8514 and are still listed as missing when they were presumed lost without trace on September 30 1942. They have no known grave and are all commemorated on Air Forces Memorial at Alamein in Egypt. J.J. Bowles is commemorated on column 250.
I would be extremely grateful if any one has a photo of him, or knows anything about him.
