Sorry for this Tom as it is off topic but it may be of use to you if you research Waterford people in WW2.
My cousin Arthur Fitzgerald whose mother was born in Patrick Street, Waterford died along with his crew on August 28th 1943 when they were shot down over Germany.
I have a web site set up in their memory (and some other crews) which has a lot of details and information about them including photo’s and letters from the German pilot that killed them and also photo’s of the “cookie” 4000lb bomb from their aircraft which was dug up in 1977.
Also of interest is the information about Sgt. James Norris and how he died and who is buried in the Ferrybank church.
The addresses are: http://www.lancastered627.shaunmcguire.co.uk and http://www.lancastered627.shaunmcguire.co.uk/Sgt%20James%20Norris.html

Congratulations on researching these men and keeping their memory alive and making the information available to those who want it.
