                  <text>Eight items. The collection consists of letters, documents and photographs related to Sergeant George William Wilson (1580045 Royal Air Force). He was a bomb aimer with 576 Squadron RAF Elsham Wolds. His Lancaster, ND403 took off on a bulls-eye training exercise 12 May 1944 but failed to return. His crew were reported missing, presumed killed. Items include post war correspondence of his surviving relatives and a letter in the event of my death addressed to his wife. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The collection has been donated to the IBCC Digital Archive for digitisation by Andy Smith and catalogued by Carolyn Baker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additional information on George William Wilson is available via the &lt;a href="https://internationalbcc.co.uk/losses/125598/"&gt;IBCC Losses Database&lt;/a&gt;.</text>
