January 12th, 2010 at 7:08 pmCH Phillips was part of the same crew as my Grandad, William RJ Craze, when their Lancaster bomber (JA685) got shot down on 4th Dec 1943 on a mission to Leipzig. C H Phillips was sent to Camp 357 while my Grandfather and the other surviving crew member, B Cooper, were sent to Stalag 4b.
I’d like to get in touch with the families of these crew members as I’m researching the time my Grandfather served in WW2. He was part of 7 squadron based in Oakington.
