A rare and well-documented Second War evader’s D.F.M. group of five awarded to Sergeant W. R. Laws, Royal Air Force, who took to his parachute over Belgium after his Halifax was attacked by night fighters returning from Pilsen in April 1943
Distinguished Flying Medal, G.VI.R. (745880 Sgt. W. R. Laws, R.A.F.); 1939-45 Star; Air Crew Europe Star; Defence and War Medals, mounted court-style, good very fine (5) £3,000-£4,000 --- D.F.M. London Gazette 16 July 1943. The original recommendation states:
‘Sergeant Laws was the Wireless Operator of the crew of a Halifax aircraft of No. 102 Squadron which was detailed to bomb the Skoda Works at Pilsen on 16 April 1943.
On the return journey the aircraft was attacked by fighters and set on fire over Belgium and the Captain gave the order to bale out. Sergeant Laws landed in a wood north of Montbliart, about 20 k.m. S.E. of Maubeuge. He was uninjured and, after burying his parachute and mae west in the undergrowth, he decided to walk south and get as far away as he could from the aircraft. He evaded capture and eventually arrived back safely in this country.
For the courage and determination shown by this N.C.O., in effecting his escape, I recommend the immediate award of the D.F.M.’

William Robert Laws, a native of Henley-on-Thames who was born in September 1918, enlisted in the Royal Air Force in November 1939. Having then attended No. 2 Signal School at Yatesbury, and No. 8 Air Gunnery School at Evanton, in addition to conversion and operational training units, he joined No. 102 Squadron, a Halifax unit, at Pocklington, in October 1942.

Initially joining Flying Officer Milnes’ crew, he completed four sorties in November-December, namely raids on Stuttgart, Mannheim and Turin (twice), one of the named trips resulting in serious flak damage.

‘The story of ‘J’ of 102 Squadron was an epic. The aircraft was hit by a burst of heavy flak at 17,000 feet, shortly after crossing the Alps, having been coned by searchlights. The starboard outer engine was put out of action and the aircraft spun down to 13,000 feet. Bombs were jettisoned and the aircraft headed for home. At 5,000 feet near Amiens the aircraft was again coned and hit by flak. Both port engines failed and the aircraft lost height to 2,000 feet. At this point the port inner picked up and the aircraft was able to limp home to Bradwell Bay on two engines. From S.E. of Paris until leaving the French coast the aircraft was followed by enemy fighters which, however, made no attack, probably expecting the Halifax to be forced to land. As ‘J’ was leaving the French coast she was illuminated again and a burst of flak blew out the port outer engine. The crash-landing was made at Bradwell Bay with no hydraulics, the captain expressing the greatest appreciation of the help he was given by that station. The Flight Engineer was injured but the rest of the crew only sustained minor cuts. The aircraft unfortunately swung into an Army hut after landing and casualties were sustained by Army personnel.’ (Official records refers).

A ‘Gardening’ trip and a raid on Dusseldorf having followed in January 1943, Laws participated in strikes on Cologne, Lorient and Nuremburg in February, and Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Essen in April - the latter trip once more proving to be of the hair-raising kind, his Flying Log Book noting: ‘Held in searchlights cone for ten minutes and heavily shelled - hit in many places.’ As it transpired, his very next sortie, against the Skoda Works at Pilsen on the night of 16/17, with Squadron Leader Lashbrook, D.F.M., as his pilot, was to prove his last, Halifax HF. 663 falling to the guns of Major Wilhelm Herget of I/NJG/4. Laws’ experiences on that night, and subsequent evasion, are neatly summarised in Valley of the Shadow of Death: The Bomber Command Campaign, March-July 1943, by J. Alwyn Phillips:

‘Halifax HF. 663 of 102 Squadron, 4 Group, captained by Squadron Leader W. I. Lashbrook, D.F.M., was one of the aircraft shot down by night fighter, which obviously had a field day in the nigh perfect weather conditions, when the bombers could be spotted so easily. Fortunately for this bomber crew the underground movement played an important role in helping shot down aircrew evade capture. It was on the return flight at about 04.00 hours, six hours after they had left their base at Pocklington, that the Halifax was attacked by a fighter over Belgium. The bomber immediately caught fire and the order to bale out was passed along, as the intercomm had failed. Sergeant W. R. Laws the wireless operator was the third out after the navigator, Flying Officer K. J. Bolton and the bomb aimer, Pilot Officer Martin with Flight Sergeant Knight, the flight engineer and the pilot immediately behind. Sergeant Laws in his report did not think that the gunners had a chance to get the bale out message. On his parachute descent he saw his aircraft break in two and fall in flames. He landed uninjured in a wood, and like all airmen buried his ‘chute and Mae West straight away and walked quickly south to get away from the crash site.

He rolled down his trousers to cover his conspicuous flying boots, then using his escape compass, he walked through a village. He saw a signpost identifying it as Montbliart. Here he left the road and walked across country, through some woods for about two hours, before stopping in a field to eat some chocolate and Horlicks tablets from his kit. After it became light he studied his map but he was unable to make out his position at Montbliart and did not know whether he was in France or Belgium. At nightfall on the 17th, he continued walking south and used his water bottle to acquire some water from a brook, making sure to put in the purifying tablets before drinking and taking a benzadrine tablet to stay awake. Walking on he passed through the villages of Seloignes and Villers La Tour before he lay up for a rest.

On the morning of the 18th he removed his badges from uniform before continuing on. Eventually he came to an isolated chateau, where a man who looked as if he might be the game keeper, came up to him and spoke in French. Luckily Sergeant Laws could speak French fairly fluently and explained to the man that he was an English airman and wanted to know where he was. The man stated that he was a Pole and was caretaker of the chateau which was unoccupied. He also said the chateau was in Belgium, near Les Taillettes, about 7 kilometres from the French frontier. The man took him onto the chateau and allowed him to shave with his razor and later gave him an old blue mackintosh. In return Sergeant Laws gave him 500 Francs from his escape pack. The caretaker, however, was quite scared to have the airman about the place and advised him to carry on and keep to the woods and walk south to France.

About midnight on the 18th-19th, he again set out and at daybreak crossed the French frontier north of Watigny. He then sheltered in a bombed out house where he ate some of the bread and cheese he had been given by the Pole and went to sleep. When he awoke he set off again walking along the road to Fligny, which he reached at 14.00 hours and continued on to Auge. It was here that a bad storm broke, with exceptionally heavy rain, so soaking wet he approached an isolated farmhouse and sheltered under its front porch. A girl of about 24 opened the door and spoke to him then invited him into the house to shelter from the storm. As Sergeant Laws replied in French, the girl did not know who he was, but when inside he had explained he was an R.A.F. airman. She and her family became very frightened when they found he had no identity discs to show and his ability to speak French so fluently made them even more suspicious of him, but they did give him some food and allowe...

With a broken arm he evaded capture for 3 months living with three others in a French barn near Port L’Eveque, and after recovery he dropped again into Germany in Operation Varsity on 24 March 1945 and was badly wounded during the battle of Wunstorf airfield on 10 April 1945 1939-45 Star; France and Germany Star; War Medal 1939-45; General Service 1918-62, 1 clasp, S.E. Asia 1945-46 (14410473 Pte J Whittaker AAC) the medals all somewhat later issues, minor edge bruise to last, nearly extremely fine (4) £400-£500 --- Joseph Whittaker was born in Salford, Lancashire, on 4 November 1924 and initially enlisted into the General Service Corps on his 18th birthday. After initial training was posted to 70th Welch, he transferred into the 13th (Lancashire) Parachute Battalion on 13 October 1943. He was part of 9 Platoon, ‘C’ Company that jumped into Normandy on the night of the 5-6 June 1944. Aboard aircraft 325 were 19 Paratroopers and a motorcycle belonging to 9 Platoon, 'C' Company. The story is taken up in 13 - Lucky For Some: The History of the 13th (Lancashire) Parachute Battalion by Andrew Woolhouse, quoting the following Paratroopers: ‘Private Len Cox (9 Platoon, 'C' Company): "We emplaned and were waiting in the aircraft for take-off when the engines spluttered and then went silent. We had a mad de-bus and were loaded into another Dakota. The flight as far as the French coast was OK, but then we ran into heavy flak and seemed to fly on and on. It wasn't until the third run in that we actually jumped; something or other went wrong on the first two." Corporal John Mescki (9 Platoon, 'C' Company) “Our officer, Tiger Lee, was the first out. No. 2 was his batman, Dougie Sharp from Cheadle, No.3 was a fellow called "Nutter" [Private Charles Hadley from London] who had a water diviner strapped to his leg and this got stuck in the door and the dispatcher kicked him out. I said, "Don't kick me out, don't push me," because I didn't want to spiral. So just jumped out and when I jumped out it was very quiet, beautiful, and quiet, just the noise of the aircraft and my chute popping open. After landing carried on about another 50 yards and I'm lost here, because I thought there was electric and telephone wires going across the field and I knew from the photographs of the DZ that there was no such thing, so I was pretty lost I to came another hedge and intended to jump through it, but got stuck half-way. Then I heard some footsteps and I thought, ‘Oh, hell, I've had it,’ but it turned out to be 2 friends, one who had broken his arm [Private J. Whittaker] and the other who had burned his fingers on his chute [Pte S. Fell]. We went straight down this road together and heard a noise like a tank, so said, ‘Let's get behind the hedge and throw some grenades.’ So we pulled the pin from out grenades, ready to throw them over the hedge, and who should come riding past were a man and a woman. Luckily, we kept the pins and rings and pushed them back on, peeked out and they disappeared round the next crossroad. We got back on the road, realising we should go in a northerly direction, when a Typhoon came over. I thought it was going I to strafe us, so we dived in the hedgerow and found a little path along into a wood. I said, ‘If we stay off the road, we'll make it.’ After I a while I saw this farmhouse, and got my binoculars out and looked at it. There, was smoke coming out of the chimney, but it was well protected from the road. I thought we could get round the back without anyone noticing and I went round and saw the door was open. It was now getting on for about 6 o'clock in the morning. knocked on the door and this French lady came. She didn't look surprised; she just looked at me and said, ‘M'sieur?’ I asked her if there were any Germans in the house and she said no and so I said, ‘I've got 2 wounded comrades, can you look after us?’ She said yes, enter if you wish. I said can you give us any idea where we are and she showed us on a little tiny railway map where we were. I said the British will be here in 3 days, will you hide us? She said yes, and took us out 3 months”.’ Whittaker, Fell and Mescki remained in the barn for three months and were eventually liberated when their battalion reached Pont L’Everque. Fell would later be killed in Operation Varsity. After liberation, Whittaker returned to the UK malnourished and he was sent to Swansea to recover from his ordeal. He was to rejoin his battalion in February 1945. On 24 March 1945, he would jump into combat in Operation Varsity, when the battalion advanced into Germany, and by 7 April had reached Petershagen, in between Osnabrück and Hanover. It continued to proceed east by motor transport and encountered enemy forces defending Wunstorf airfield at around 14:30 hours, although earlier reconnaissance reports had indicated that it had been abandoned, resulting in the ambush of the leading elements crossing the bridge to approach it, and heavy casualties. Whittaker was wounded by a high explosive shell to his left arm. After the surrender of the Japanese, Whittaker sailed to Singapore and the Far East and was involved in the round up of ‘stray’ Japanese servicemen on the Malay-Siam border. In November and December 1945 he served in Java to help put down the Indonesian Rebellion. There was an infamous mutiny of the 13th (Lancashire) Parachute Battalion in May 1946 due to poor conditions. He was discharged in November 1946, his services no longer required; it is not known if he was one of the 251 mutineers whose charges were later dropped. In 1958 Whittaker rejoined the Territorial Army and the Royal Artillery for a year. He subsequently applied for the Efficiency Medal (Territorial), but this was refused, with his records stating ‘Very Naughty Boy’. He died in Salford on 1 September 1991. Sold with copied service papers and other research, which states that his Second War medals were issued in November 1980; and his GSM in December 1982.
