Flt.Sgt. Reginald James Garlish . Royal Air Force 78 Squadron from Stanmore Middlesex (d.17th May 1941) In the month of May 1941 there was little activity in the air. It was the result of the heavy efforts of Bomber Command in the preceding months and the low returns that the bombing resulted. The squadrons needed a rest period. This rest period was in this month of May but in spite of the everything, bombing still took place and crews lost their lives. On 17th of May there was an attack by ninety-five bombers, including twenty-eight Whitleys. One Whitley was lost. This aircraft, number Z6493 with squadron code EY-V belonged to 78 Squadron, which was stationed at the RAF Middleton St George (Co. Durham).
Pilot F/O John Garrould took off late at night at a quarter to eleven, in a moonless night and set course for the East. The bombardment was very difficult due to the intense activity of the German searchlights. Nevertheless, 82 aircraft claimed good bombardment results. Garrould and his crew were discovered on the return flight in Nachtjagdraum 5 by the experienced Jagerleitoffizier Knickmeier. He led Uffz Pross from 3 / NJG.1 to the unfortunate Whitley and after a few bursts he managed to hit John Garrould's aircraft a deadly blow. For Garrould there was no chance to survive this attack. His plane burned violently and was unmanageable. With an excessive blow the plane crashed about seven hundred meters behind the farm of the Crommentuyn family in the Mariapeel in Sevenum. All crew members died on the spot. Only three could be identified and they were buried at Ehrenfriedhof Venlo. The two others were so mutilated that identification was impossible and they were buried as unknown soldiers in a collective grave. After the war their mortal remains were reburied at Jonkerbos War Cemetery.
Uffz. Pross was also hit during this raid. It is not known when and where he was wounded, but it was so serious that he lost control of the aircraft during the landing at Fliegerhorst Venlo. With a huge blow, the BF 110 went over and crashed. Pross died in the crash and was buried in Dresden. Bordfunker Facius survived the crash and was taken to Lazarett Krefeld.

James Garner . British Army Lancashire Fusiliers from Salford, Lancs. My father, Jim Garner (Lancashire Fusiliers, Army No.3450469, POW No.1206) and his cousin, Gunner John Goring, (Royal Artillery, Army No.2043413, POW No.1053) were held prisoner at Stalag 344 during WW2. They were in Working Party E3 Blechammer. In Dec 1944 there was an allied air-raid on the oil refinery where they were working; Dad and John made it to an air-raid shelter, which was subsequently bombed. Dad was very badly injured, but sadly John was killed.
As soon as it became known that a shelter had been hit, several men left their own shelter and before the aircraft had left the area, worked unceasingly until the last of the injured and last body had been extricated from the debris.
One of these men was Albert (Happy) Eckersall, PKX/86772, L/Sto. Royal Navy. POW. No.5310.
Not long after Dad recovered, he and others from the camp were made to march across Poland.
My father never saw Happy again after that fateful day, until my brother came across a reference to the camp at HMS Dolphin some 46 yrs later. They met up again at Gosport submarine museum, where their story made the local paper. Dad and Happy remained friends until Dad sadly passed away in 1995.
