Looking for war hero

[tomtom1]

Hi.
I am researching the story of a gallant group of young airmen killed while flying as Pathfinders in the closing weeks of World War Two...

One of their number was Flight Lieutenant George Alexander James Morrison. He was a Flight Engineer with 156 Squadron....

I've tried Ancestry.com...but without his birthdate, there's not much I can find...bit like looking for the needle in the haystack....and I don't know where he was born either.....two of the most important pieces of information!!!

War Graves website is also sparce with information....no age given or anything else.....

Can anyone help me??

Hi there,
I believe that G.A.J.Morrison's N.C.O.service number,1345719,shows that he enlisted in Edinburgh,sometime after February 1941,although I am no expert in this area.I do have some more information about the operational career of F/O.Pope and crew before joining 156 Squadron-a period with 300 Squadron from July 1944 to September 1944 and a brief period,six days,on 100 Squadron.
Hope this is of help,
Regards,Mark Simpson.
