F/O. Henry William Ellis DFM.
Royal Air Force 29 Squadron
from:Hornchurch
(d.7th Jun 1944)
Harry Ellis was my Grandfather. He was shot down over France in June 1944 with his pilot Ronald Densham. They were flying a Mosquito which was buried (along with its occupants) by a local farmer to hide it from the Germans. When the war ended the farmer informed the British who recovered the remains which were then buried at Bayeaux in a joint grave.
Harry left behind a wife, Joan, and three daughters under 5. We are always on the lookout for information about him and the internet has been a great help.
