Sgt. Rex Joseph Chatwin

Royal Air Force 106 Squadron

from:Blackheath, Staffordshire

(d.19th Sep 1944)

Uncle Rex was my mother's brother who died on 19th September, 1944. He was 19 years old. He was based at RAF Metheringham and was "tail end charlie" gunner on a Lancaster bomber that was shot down either on the way or on the way back from a night bombing raid to Rheydt. The plane crashed at Elmpt. We believe of the 7 occupants, 6 were killed but this has not been confirmed.
