Sgt. Christopher John Stafford Poole

Royal Air Force 103 Squadron

from:Peterborough

(d.5th May 1940)

I can just remember my Uncle John Poole taking me on a motor boat at Great Yarmouth in 1938 when I was four. He was killed in those horrendous days for 103 Squadron on 10th May 1940 having taken off in Fairey Battle K9270 at approx 1345hrs from their field at Betheniville in France. The plane was shot down near Hotton, Belgium about 85 miles from base. I have a few photos of 103 Squadron at Betheniville from the Imperial War Museum but none of K9740. Just another of those almost countless unsung heroes. I have a photograph of John taken when on leave during Feb. 1940 and I am trying to find out as much as I can about my uncle.
