Sgt. Harry Fisher

Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 106 Squadron

from:Grimsby

(d.4th Sep 1943)

Harry Fisher was my Mum's brother. Very little was ever said about him as my Nana was too devastated to talk about him. I am very keen to learn more about him. I have found out that he is buried in Hanover and am planning to visit his grave. Does anyone have any information on him. He died on the 4th of September 1943 how can I find out which sortie was he on?

Editors Note: Bomber Command Losses records that Lancaster ED385 took off at 19.30 on the 3rd of September 1943 from Syerston. It crashed into a thickly wooded area between Burgdorf, 20 km from Hannover and the town of Uetze. All the crew perished and are buried in Hannover War cemetery.

The crew were:

  • F/O L.W.Roper RAAF
  • Sgt K.E.Bright
  • Sgt A.s.Carscadden
  • Sgt K.D.Wellwood RCAF
  • Sgt H.Fisher
  • Sgt E.A.Cannon RCAF
  • Sgt R.C.Woolnough
