T/Sgt. Allen R. McMurran

US Army Air Force 339th Bomb Squadron 96th Bombardment Group

from:Carthage, Missouri, USA

Allen R. McMurran with the crew of his bomber

Allen McMurran, my father, served at Snetterton Heath from July 1944 to Jan/Feb 1945. He completed all 35 missions as a ball turret gunner and went home to live a full life to the age of 84. The crew of his flight gave him a cardboard Purple Heart after one of his missions because he had been peeing when a crew member yelled that the Jerries were coming in, and in his rush to prepare for action he zipped his penis up in his flight suit and ended up having to rip it loose. So technically, he was wounded in action!
