Hi,
I am a volunteer for the The War Graves Photographic Project (TWGPP). In our Spring 2013 newsletter there is a request from a fellow volunteer requesting any information on Sgt Campbell from Coatbridge in Lanarkshire. He was a wireless operator flying in a Halifax bomber and was KIA on 22nd Sept 1944. The Halifax crashed near Weert in the Netherlands. Wesley Haex is the name of the volunteer:
a.haex@hotmail.nl
Wesley has been instrumental in having a memorial built to the crew and would be very interested to hear from any member who may have information on Sgt Campbell.
Rgds,
Alex
