Flt.Sgt. William David Phillips

Royal Air Force 9 Squadron

from:Wales

(d.31st July 1944)

My great, great uncle, William David Phillips, served in the 9th Squadron. He was killed on the 31st of July 1944, over Rilly La Montagne in France. I believe he was the radio operator during his last mission, which was an attempt to destroy the storage of German flight bombs in the Tunnel de Rilly-la-Montagne. He was just twenty years old when he died.

I never met William, but his sister, my great grandmother has very much been a part of my life, and I will remember William's sacrifice and those who died along with him on that mission, forever. And I hope others will too.
