Albert Ernest Edwin Gourd
RAAF 428 Sqd

(d.28th/29th Aug 1943)
Albert Ernest Edwin Gourd was a Sergeant in the RAAF who was killed in action on the night of 28/29 August 1943, while serving in 428 (RCAF) Squadron. Albert was age 23. I believe he was a mid upper air gunner, and was killed in a night fighter attack. If anyone can tell me more about his aircraft and crew I would be most grateful. Sergeant Gourd was my wifes uncle. He is buried in Durnbach War Cemetery.
