Personnel Unable to Locate
39 SQUADRON MARAUDER ASSOCIATION
When the 39 Squadron Marauder Association was formed great efforts were made to locate and enroll ALL members of the Squadron who served from October 1944 to October 1946. Those whom we contacted who wished to enroll became full members but those who did not wish to enroll had their wishes respected and no more contact was made. There were a number of both Ground crew and Air Crew whom we were unable to locate – not then or in the later years.
We have now decided that one last effort should be made to establish personnel contact with these missing members via our Web Site which has only recently become available for this purpose.
Therefore, if any person who is viewing this section believes that they have knowledge of the whereabouts of any of the under listed people then we would be grateful if you would pass this information on to our secretary so that we can make the necessary enquiries to contact. Even if they have died we would still like to know so that their names can possibly be added to our Roll of Honour. It’s a long shot but we can only hope.
