Sergeant Don Sills DFM

Don was good friends with Ed Cooke and Eric Borsberry amongst others, and Ed has sent us photo's of Don.

Don Sills was KIA on the 30th June 1941 on board Whitley T4233 the crew were:

F/O Arthur Leslie Pullen - KIA (C.W.G.C Page)
Sgt James Bruckshaw - KIA - Aged 20 - (C.W.G.C Page)
Sgt Frank Gerald Coulby - KIA (C.W.G.C Page)
Sgt Donald Sills - KIA - Aged 22 - (C.W.G.C Page)
Sgt John C. Newlands - KIA - Aged 28 - (C.W.G.C Page)

The plane got airborne just before 11pm, from Topcliffe.

It was shot down by a night-fighter (Hptm Werner Streib, 1./NJG1) and crashed at 1.20am near Diergaarde (Limburf), 12 km SSW of Roermond, Holland.

All five airmen are buried in Jonkerbos War Cemetery.

More to come about some of Don's other flights when we get time.
