Buried in REICHSWALD
FOREST WAR CEMETERY. Reference : 3. C. 15.
Son of Joseph Michael and Annie Maria Egan, of Victoria Park, Western Australia.
On the 23 May 1943 at 23.15, Stirling MZ261 coded BU-T lifted off from Chedburgh,
in Suffolk on the nights operations. The target for the night was a bombing
raid on Dortmond which included several other 214 squadron aircraft. This
was destined to be their last flight. It is unknown exactly what happened,
possibly flak or a nightfighter, but Stirling MZ261 crashed at Unna about
15km ENE of Dortmund. Initially the crew were buried here but they were
later taken re-interred in the Reichswald Forest War Cemetery.

of heavy losses, far more had survived than could be used for further
flying duties and it was quite a problem finding suitable niches for all.
