Sgt Douglas Harold Beresford
Royal Air Force Pathfinders 635 Squadron
from:Sheffield
(d.5th June 1944)
Douglas Beresford was my Father whom I never knew. He was killed in June 1944 and I was born in December. My wish would be to speak to someone who knew him. I realise that the age group is small now but I run an Age UK club and we have 5 members who are over 90 so I am taking some encouragement from this. He was the Flight Engineer on Lancaster 111 ME621 F2-R and he was killed over Wizernes while attacking the V-2 site. His aircraft went down without trace
