(d.31st March 1944)
Douglas Harvey was the youngest of 7 boys born in Oberon, NSW, 6 of whom enlisted. Doug was one of two who died as a result of the War.
His plane went down near Geissen Airfield in Germany on 31/3/44 during the raid on Nuremburg. His body was never found. A few years ago, Australian War Graves issued a brass plaque which was affixed to his brother Jack's grave (Jack died shortly after returning from the Middle East - 7th Div Signals).
Family members attended a small ceremony conducted by the local RSL to commemorate the plaque. Doug was 27.
