CASSON R.A.F.), 1939/45 Star, Africa Star, Italy Star, Defence Medal, War Medal, 1939-45, Extremely Fine. One morning in May 1944, this airman took part in an attack on mechanical transport on the Alatri-Frosinone road. Despite intense opposing fire, F/Sgt. Casson pressed home his attacks with great determination. Whilst making a second run over the target his aircraft was it by a shell. F/Sgt. Casson was badly wounded in the thigh. Although faint through the loss of blood and shock, this valiant pilot flew his damaged aircraft to base. He was unable to operate one rudder bar owing to his exhausted condition. Nevertheless he effected a safe landing. As he was lifted from the controls F.Sgt. Casson collapsed. This airman displayed courage, fortitude and devotion to duty of the highest order. Extract from “In Action with the Enemy” ---- Alan Cooper:- Fighter-Bomber Pilot These were the only CGMs given for specific actions in the Middle East. It was to be another year before anyone of the Desert Air Force received another by which time it was operating in Italy. On 27th May, 1944, Flight Serjeant John Casson, from Salisbury, Rhodesia, was with 250 (Sudan) Squadron and based at San Angelo, Italy, flying P40 fighter bombers. On this day he was detailed for an armed reconnaissance mission along the Caprino-Arche-Frosinone road, Near Frosinone, twenty plus enemy motor transport vehicles were spotted and Red Section, led by Casson, in Kittyhawk FX761, went into the attack. He scored four hits on the road and claimed one motor vehicle destroyed when it blew up with flames shooting up to 300 feet. The section then attacked in pairs and obtained further hits. Blue Section also attacked and scored further hits; it was believed the transports were carrying vital petrol. The flak was intense from several ground positions. Casson had made his two runs in the face of severe opposition. In his second attack his Kittyhawk was hit by a shell and he was seriously wounded in the thigh and his aircraft holed and a tyre punctured. Although bleeding profusely and almost passing out through pain and loss of blood, he flew his aircraft back to base, a distance of fifty miles. Unable to operate one rudder bar because of his would and with a shredded tyre, he nevertheless made a good landing. Only when being lifted out of his cockpit did he finally pass out. He was recommended for the CGM the same day by his CO, Major J. R. R. Wells D.F.C., but sadly he succumbed to his wounds. John Casson was buried on 28th May in British Cemetery No. 12. His action came at the height of the Battle for Rome and apart from Casson, the squadron got quite a mauling in this operation. Wingman to Casson, Sergeant Barrow, did not get home. Flight Lieutenant McBryde, an Australian, had to force land but luckily, inside Allied lines. Four other aircraft came back with holes shot through them. At the time of his death, Casson had flown ninety-eight aieruwa BS Gs 496 flying hours in his log book. ALSO THE MEDALS OF HIS BROTHER 778385 SGT. W. H.
