Very curious to know what happened to my Uncle SGT A Roberts (killed in action) as rear gunner in Halifax II DT768 on 12/06/43 target - Bochum. Pilot RNZAF SGT Chambers only survivor.

The Halifax was DT 568. The Pilot, Sgt Charles Chambers, RNZAF, was a POW in Stalag 357. His last address was

105 SUVA STREET, CHRISTCHURCH, NEW ZEALAND, but he may now be in a home, as he was not very well. I believe someone told me Charlie had been thrown through the windscreen when he crashed. I never heard the full story of what happened.
