21 Brave Airmen, March 1943

[Beevee]

Sorry Pete. We have mounted exhibitions from time to time but nothing permanent so far - despite representations to the council whom seem to think that Bath's only history consists of the Roman & Georgian periods (they bring in the tourists). We live in hope! Meanwhile we try to keep the website up to date. Brian

I presume your relative is on the Runnymede Wall.  Have you been there?  I hope to go there soon.  Will post some photos when I do.  If you (or anyone else) want a pic of any specific name please let me know...

Dee,
If you have time to look for a Ft/Sgt R.H. Exon I would be grateful

Hi Dee and Beevee..........yes Dee l have been to Runnymede and its a wonderfully peaceful place, (l have tried to attach some pics for you but it says my attachments are too large). Will try a PM.

Brian.......Reggie wont be on there as the memorial is to those who have no known grave.

I found the names of my Uncle and his crew and touched the letters on the walls, feeling a connection with the past.

It is built at the top of a hill.....and for me "Reaches Up and Touches Heaven".

Steve.

Glad to see bits are still falling in to place Steve.

Brian - is there a bath blitz exhibition, we often pop over, nice to have a look if so - only over in Cannington.

Pete

Hi Pete, yes its great when a piece of info presents itself......one day the lot??

Hope all is well with you.

Hi Beevee,

I am interested in learning more about Reggie Exon. Please contact me in regards to my research.

Hi Christian, and welcome to RC. Lots of great helpful folk on here, just like you!!

[WelwynGC1]

A brief note to thank all those folk far and wide who have helped with this since my first post in Jan 2009.
I started out knowing only that my Uncle was on the photo.....now l know when and where it was taken and have details for another six of the airmen pictured. As l once mentioned it is my aim if possible to find out something about each man, if only to confirm identity.
I am going to try and get the picture to a wider audience in the hope that someone will spot a relative. I will of course report back with anything l find. Some of the success stories l read on this site can only give me the drive and determination to carry on.

Thankyou and good luck in whatever info you seek!!

I now have a date to go to Runnymede so will add your guy to my list.  I will take pics of the cemetary area as well as the bit on the roll of honour for you.
