World War 11 Casualties

If you could spare a few dollars to help with the running costs of this website would be very much appreciated.
Thank you from Gravesites of Tasmania.

Taylor Edward James

Was serving with 10 Squadron when on the 21 June 1942 while carrying out a search for the crew of a Wellington from 172 squadron they were attacked by an Arado Ar-196 and forced to land on open water. It was just after they became stationary that a crew of a 58 squadron Whitley observed the Sunderland explode before disappearing under the water.

All 11 on board including Sgt Taylor who was the 1^st wireless operator were killed
