Sgt. Caspar Harald "Jerk" Jurgensen .     Royal Air Force 106 Sqd.   from London (d.3th Jan 1943) Casper Jurgensen was the uncle I never met. He flew a fateful 13th mission and was shot down by a night fighter and the whole crew perished. I visited Appledorn cemetary in the 70's with my mother to see his grave. After leaving the station, we didn't go to a large supermarket for flowers but chose a little shop down the road. When we told the owner why we were there, he showed us a photo of the grave they looked after during the war and it was my uncle's. Very strange and kind of lovely at the same time. The German's made them move the body from the local cemetary to the war one and later some of the commonwealth crew were moved to a Canadian cemetery. Add to this record. Sig.

The free section of the Wartime Memories Project website is run by volunteers. We have been helping people find out more about their relatives wartime experiences since 1999 by recording and preserving recollections, documents, photographs and small items. The website is paid for out of our own pockets, library subscriptions and from donations made by visitors. The popularity of the site means that it is far exceeding available resources and we currently have a huge backlog of submissions. If you are enjoying the site, please consider making a donation, however small to help with the costs of keeping the site running.
