I HAVE been asked if I can help by a researcher of 142 Squadron RAF named Pieter Schlebaum, He is looking for information about Arthur George Edwards, whose address was 1 Filey Road, Newport at the time. Arthur was born on the 30 August 30, 1913 and was the air observer in a Wellington bomber that was shot down on the November 20/21, 1942.
The aircraft crashed near Paris and Arthur was taken a prisoner and spent the rest of the war as a PoW. Pieter is already in touch with another relative of the crew and is searching for relatives of the rest. If anyone can help, please contact me on 01633 856235 or shaunmcguire1@aol.com
