Williams, Observer's and Air Gunner's Flying Log Book, Identity Card, Royal Air Force Service and Release Book, photographs of both Sgt H. Williams and his squadron. During WWII 149 (East India) Squadron, was based at RAF Mildenhall, RAF Lakenheath and latterly RAF Methwold. The squadron was re-formed in 1937 at Mildenhall as a night-bomber unit and equipped with Heyford aircraft, where they flew 19 operations. The squadron played a prominent part in the early offensive against Germany and Italy and after having re-equipped with Stirling's, took part in the first 1000-bomber raids. It went on to serve steadfastly until the end of the war. H. Williams served as a Wireless Operator. The squadron took part in what was to be their final raid to Frankfurt on the 24th/25th August 1942, 226 aircraft took part in this raid. 7.1% of the force sent were lost, OJ-R took off from Lakenheath at 21.21, The Squadron Operational Record simply states 'Aircraft failed to return' entry nr 3. The aircraft was shot down by Oberfeldwebel (Ofw) Reinhard Kollack of 7/NJG4 and crashed at 01.46 near Thieulain (Hainaut) Belgium. Ofw. Kollack made three attacks on the aircraft during which two crew members were slightly injured. At the debriefing for MI9, the following statement for Sgt Williams was taken: I then began walking south alone, I slept out, stopping at houses for meals and directions. None of those who helped me knew of organizations. The first stages of my route were Leuze, Conde, Marchipont, and Erquennes. I crossed the frontier border without difficulty. The original frontier signposts were still there, and there were very few Gendarmes on either the Belgian or French side. After crossing the frontier I skirted Bavai, and went on to Maubeuge. I then kept east and slightly south and re-crossed the frontier into Belgium east of Thirimont. I was again in France, having crossed the frontier between the last-named places. My problem was to get across the Meuse, so I went north through the Ardennes to Fumay, which lies between the frontier to the west and the Meuse on the east. Here I was arrested and taken to their office. They informed an officer who said I was to leave immediately. I walked south by the following route: Willerzie, Rienne, Louette St Denis, Bellefontaine, Orchimont Bohan. A local official arranged for me to cross the border with two French escapees, the next day I went by tram to Charleville with a party of 12 French escapees. I spent two days in a lodging house and received an ID card with a photograph. I was described on the card as a deaf-mute. Deciding to go alone, I walked south from Besancon to the Line of Demarcation, which I crossed to Chamblay. I crossed the line at midday when the guards are lax. The border at that point is a road, and the road and adjacent fields are patrolled. At Chamblay I was advised in a café to make for Lyons. I started walking again, and when I got to Ounans about three miles away, I met a man who put me in touch with an organisation. By this time I had been travelling for about a fortnight, almost all the time on foot, and had walked about 200 miles. Unusually all the crew survived the war and two captured crew were held as POW's until the end of the war. The last entry in Sgt William' logbook records....19/10/1942 - Sunderland 'L' Pilot Flt/Lt Rees-Gibraltar to Poole Harbour - 11.1/2 hours.
