Add Information to Record of a Person who served during the Second World War on The Wartime Memories Project Website

229859 WO/2 Frederick Thomas Mattison Royal Canadian Air Force 407 Sqdn. from:Toronto (d.20th Jan 1943) Fred Mattison was my dad's cousin. During the War I was very young and never did understand how a person could go missing, but everyone in the family knew he was in action over the English Channel and were notified he was missing in action. Only in recent years have I gathered information about Fred and his role in the 407 (Demon) Squadron. 407 Squadron was active across the English Channel to the Bay of Biscay in search of enemy submarines and shipping. The 407 suffered a high level of losses per capita, compared to other units. On one of these attack missions Fred failed to return and was presumed killed in action. Fred will always be remembered by all the remaining family for his supreme sacrifice.
