Hi all, I wonder if someone has ever come accross photos of the 3rd Airlanding Anti Tank Battery prior to D-Day. I am trying to identify a gunner , Frank NEWHAM, who was KIA on D-Day at Saint Vaast En Auge. I've been able to trace his relatives but they don't have any pictures of Frank. Frank Newham was with the following gun crew in Hamilcar CN501 when they flew to Normandy. Sgt CANNON Bdr HARDING Bdr WHITNEY, KIA 06/06/1944 Gnr BATES Gnr GRAINGER Gnr NEWHAM, KIA 06/06/1944 Gnr PALLETT Gnr STANLEY, KIA 06/06/1944 Thanks & Regards, Ludo
