218836 Sgt. James Walter Gilbert Royal Air Force 156 Sgd from:Market Harborough (d.24th Feb 1944) My father, Sgt James Walter Gilbe, was rear gunner in Lancaster JB479. Serial GT-K piloted by Sgd/Ldr Eric Porter. On the evening of 24 Feb.1944 they'd left their base at R.A.F. Warboys. They were the lead Pathfinders on the raid at Schweinfurt. They marked the target but were shot down, believed by a night fighter. There were no survivors. Their collective grave was found in 1952 and they were re-buried at the Durnbach War Cementery. My father's birthday was the day before he died and he had just found out that he was going to be a dad (that was me).
