Hello Carpi and welcome to the forum.

No need to worry about any language difficulties after reading your post.

Thanks for the information on the JG 26 Pilot. Where did you get that from?

Regards

Jonathan

I am French and live as near as Cassel (Wormhout exactly)
My stepfather is the witness of the crash, I am also a pilot and very interested by what happened during this period.
As stated in my countryman will be buried in Arneke. The date will be this Monday, October 24 at 14:00 local time in the presence of an Australian colonel.

I don't think Keith has been back online to answer your question.

Been on the vin rouge tonight by any chance?

 

Hello JLB and welcome to the forum as well.

I'm sure Geoff will be very pleased to read the funeral arrangements you mention.

As you can see by this Aussie-Anglo-French thread we all get along splendidly.

thank you for the information

 

Hello to the two new French members - I'm very familiar with Wormhout and Cassel. Lovely parts of France and always a pleasure to visit.

Don't forget to look in the 1940 section of the forum

Hi,
i'm happy to join you on this subject.
I'm living near cassel, and i'm a french man . So, I beg your pardon to my language.
Cassel is a town at one mile on the south of Hardifort where the spitfire was found.
The weckrage is 500 m on the south to the bunker.

I have these informations date 09 May 1942
german pilot Josef Haibock
unit 1./JG 26
plane Spitfire
altitude 5000m
hour 13:40
localisation 2km N Cassel


The nearest cemetery is Cassel cemetery. But, i think that the remains of the RAAF pilot (his identity is always not officialy confirmed) will be buried in Arneke cemetery where others pilots ww2 rest in peace.

Thank you for the information.

I am quite surprised the burial is going to take place so quickly.

Hopefully we will see some photos of the burial as we all would be interested.

if someone takes a photo of the headstone when it is placed it would be most appreciated.

Cheers

Geoff

 

RIP mate. KIA 9 May 1942.

Appears he also served with 452 Squadron.....with Paddy Finucane, Bluey Truscott, Ray Thorold-Smith and Bob Bungey. A good mate of my father's David Evans also served with them. Will dig out Bluey's book and see if he is mentioned.

Hi Tim,

Some good company for him there.

Cheers

As Drew states Cassel is a very interesting area.Often visited Cassel with its quaint sloping main street up the hill from Arneke.

I know Arneke CWGC Cemetery quite well having aso stayed at Bollezeele.Again a pleasant area for a break or a look back in history.

Has the burial been organised for some time?.Monday 24 October was soon announced via our French contributors.

 

I was involved in the recovery and will be able to supply details at a later date. Meanwhile, I can confirm that suggestions that a burial will take place on 24 October are wholly incorrect!

If the poster who is a relative (MooreK at #13) would like to urgently contact me I should be delighted to hear from you!

My e-mail is 1940history [at] gmail.com or sndz338 [at] aol.com

Hello Andy and welcome to the forum.

Any chance of posting some photos of the recovery? It would be great to see them.
