[gordy]

Hello All

I'm trying to track down relatives of Sgt J R Barraclough (NZ424222) who was the Wireless Operator in my father's crew on No. 626 Sqdn, RAF Wickenby, from June - October 1945. Thanks to Dave Homewood I have the following information:


Jack Russell Barraclough

Born 4 September 1923

Died 14 Jan 1997

Buried Belfast Cemetery, Christchurch City, Canterbury, New Zealand.


If anyone can help out I'd very much appreciate it.
