[underlined] EPILOGUE [/underlined]
As recorded in paragraph 59b, F/O Jones and his crew, flying Lancaster PB638(‘O’-Oboe) failed to return from a raid on Stuttgart on 28th Jan. 1945.
Following an attack by a German night-fighter, ‘Oboe’ crashed at Michelbach, Aglasterhausen, (about 12 miles south-east of Heidelberg) with the loss of all lives. The crew were given a christian burial in the local churchyard; they were later re-interred in the Imperial War Graves Cemetery located at Bad Tölz (approx 25 miles due south of Munich). However, an original headstone remains in the churchyard at Michelbach.
Some years after the war, a Michelbach resident, Herr Karl Frauhammer, himself a refugee who had been left severely disabled as a result of war wounds and therefore unable to fully follow his profession of blacksmith, designed and created a war memorial to honour the memory of the dead crew. A large block of sandstone incorporates a piece of the aircraft wreckage and bears a wrought iron motif and commemorative plaque. Standing before the sandstone is a low gateway fo decorative wrought ironwork; inset are seven gilt crosses and a symbolic four-engined aircraft (unfortunately it looks more like a Flying Fortress than a Lancaster - but does not detract from the obvious sincerity of the creator’s intentions). The commemorative plaque, freely translated, reads:-
“On 28th January 1945, a four-engined British bomber aircraft crashed at this spot, killing all seven members of its crew”.
The memorial, which is set alongside a well-known scenic walk in a peaceful woodland on the outskirts of Michelbach, was unveiled on Sunday, 13th Oct. 1074 in a ceremony attended by the British Air Attache, Bonn; the British Consul-General, Stuttgart; the local German Air Force commander; and local dignitaries including the Burgomeister and heads of all community services. Also present were the parents of the crew’s Wireless Operator (F/Sgt John Wilson Milburn) together with contingents representing the RAF, the German Air Force and the Fire Services.
The ceremony did not pass unnoticed. The Daily Telegraph of 14th October 1974 reported:-
“In an unusual, or even unique ceremony, a small German village paid tribute to the memory of seven British airmen of No. 153 Squadron, who died there in 1945”.
Similar reports appeared in various British and German provincial papers, and in RAF News.
[underlined] ACKNOWLEDGEMENT [/underlined]
The foregoing information was provided by Phillip Jenkinson - brother of the crew’s Flight Engineer, F/Sgt Peter Jenkinson, DFM. Phillip was himself a Halifax mid-upper gunner with No. 10 Squadron, when shot down in 1943; his pilot and rear gunner were killed - the rest survived.
(By an amazing coincidence, although he died 300 miles away and some 18 months later, Peter’s final grave at Durnbach lies directly alongside those of Phillip’s old crew-mates).

[inserted] Translation of newspaper article reporting our visit to Michelbach 13.9.83 [/inserted]
[underlined] ENGLISHMAN RETURNS TO THE GRAVE OF HIS BROTHER [/underlined]
The airman who crashed at Michelbach is now in the military cemetary [sic] at Durnbach (Bavaria)
Farmer Philip Jenkinson from Shebbear in North Devon (England) was shot down as a member of the crew of a Halifax Bomber 40 years ago south of Augsburg on his way to bomb Munich. Two airmen were killed. He visited Michelbach a few days ago with his sister, Evelyn Paine, his wife Jean and his brother in law Geoff Paine to see the memorial to his brother and crew of a Lancaster Bomber shot down on 28th January 1945. At first the seven airmen were buried in the Michelbach [cemetary [sic]. The two dead members of Philips crew and and the Philips brother with the other six members of his crew were later buried in the R.A.F. cemetary at Durnbach, south east of Munich.
At the MIchelbach cemetary is a memorial stone for the seven killed airmen but Jenkinson’s brother is shown as unidentified. The mayor Erich Dambach, assured that the name Peter Jenkinson will be noted on the gravestone. In two years the English people will come again to Germany.
Karl Frauhammer the builder of the monument for the 7 English airmen near the cafe ‘Gluck I’m Winkel’ received a letter 14 days ago from Philip Jenkinson telling of his visit. The letter was sent from Alscot farm, Shebbear, on 10th August. It was only addressed Michelbach, West Germany. In the whole Federal Republic are 17 Michelbachs. The 15th postcode was the right one.
It was a very windy crossing, but the 4 English people came to the right Michelbach near Heidelberg, although they forgot to address the letter correctly.
At the cafe Gluck I’m Winkel they met the mayor, Erich Dambach, Karl Frauhammer the builder of the monument and the municipal concillor [sic] Gunter Glumm of Michelbach. The Mayor greeted the guest and said they are welcome in Michalbach. [sic] He took them to the monument and Karl Frauhammer explained the the history of how it began.
Nine years ago, October the 13th was the unveiling of the monument attended by the British Air Attache in Bonn, Air Commodore L P G Martin, the British Consul in Stuttgart, Mr H E J Hale and many German personalities. The invitation to the celebration did not reach the Jenkinsons early enough.

[RAF Crest] ROYAL AIR FORCE
MINISTRY OF DEFENCE NEWS RELEASE
105/74
October 11, 1974
GERMANS HONOUR LANCASTER CREW
The seven members of a Lancaster bomber who died in an attack in 1945 are to be honoured by the German community of Michelbach, near Heidleberg, at a ceremony beside a new memorial to their memory.
The crew - a flying officer and six flight sergeants of No 153 Squadron - perished in an attack on Stuttgart on January 28, 1945. Their aircraft crashed at Michelbach and after the war they were reinterred in the military cemetery at Durnbach.
Now a local sculptor has erected a sandstone memorial at the point where the Lancaster crashed. An official remembrance ceremony is to be held at the memorial on Sunday (October 13).
Air Commodore L G P Martin, British Air Attache in Bonn, will attend the ceremony at which contingents of the RAF and the Federal German Air Force will also be present. As part of the simple ceremony, Air Commodore Martin will lay a wreath “from the Royal Air Force” on the spot. Others will be laid by the burgomeister of Aglasterhausen, by the local German Air Force Commander and by the British Consul in Stuttgart, Mr H E J Hale.
The crew who died were Flying Officer Owen Meredith Clement Jones [inserted] DFC [/inserted] (pilot) whose wife lived in Oxford and whose sister lived in Selly Oak, Birmingham; Flight Sergeant John Francis Dormer of Bexley Heat, Kent; Flight Sergeant Edward Walter Fletcher of Preston, Lancs; Flight Sergeant Peter Raeburn Jenkinson [inserted] DFM [/inserted] of Ottery St Mary, Devon; Flight Sergeant John Wilson Milburn of Blythe, Northumberland; Flight Sergeant Harold Ferguson of Manchester; Flight Sergeant James Coles of Bradford. Invitations to the ceremony were extended to their next of kin and the parents of Flight Sergeant Milburn are expected to spend the weekend in Michelbach.

A colleague at HQ Royal Observer Corps telephoned Lieutenant Commander Geoff Paine (Husband of Evelyn) who was stationed at No.2 Group ROC, Horsham, to tell him of the news. [/inserted]

IMPERIAL WAR GRAVES COMMISSION,
WOODBURN HOUSE, WOODBURN GREEN,
HIGH WYCOMBE, BUCKS.
Ref. 24th January 1955
Dear Madam,
The Commission have received from the Air Ministry your letter of 10th January in respect of the late Flying Officer A.W. Read.
I am able to inform you that the headstone has now been erected over your son’s grave in Durnbach War Cemetery, Germany, and the inscription chosen by you has been engraved as under:-
“I BARE YOU ON EAGLES’ WINGS, AND BROUGHT YOU UNTO MYSELF”. EXODUS XIX. 4.
In an earlier letter, the Commission refereed to the desire known to be felt by many relatives to contribute towards the cost of engraving the personal inscription and added that an opportunity to do so would be given to them later. If you had thought of making a contribution, you may send any sum up to £1, which is the average cost of engraving these inscriptions.
I would like, however, to make it clear that relatives are under no obligation to send a contribution unless they wish, and if the Commission do not hear further from you the cost of engraving your inscription will be met from their funds.
Yours faithfully, [signature] N Dean [/signature] Secretary
Mrs. M. Read,
30 Newland Street West,
LINCOLN.

MIDDLESEX.
P.411125/S.14 (Cas.) 18th January, 1955.
Dear Mrs. Read,
Thank you for your letter dated 10th January.
The responsibility for the erection of permanent headstones is that of the Imperial War Graves Commission, Wooburn House, Wooburn Green, High Wycombe, Bucks. I am therefore sending a copy of your letter to the Secretary of the ``commission, who will no doubt reply to you direct and confirm whether or not the headstone has been erected over your son’s grave.
No arrangements have been made to re-photograph graves after the erection of the permanent headstones, and the Department has made no promises to next of kin that such photographs would be provided. It is known, however, that the British Legion, 49, Pall Mall, London S.W.1. has a photographic service in connection with war Graves and would arrange to have a special photograph of your son’s grave taken at a moderate fee.
On receiving confirmation from the Imperial War Graves Commission that your son’s headstone has been erected, you may therefore like to address an enquiry to the British Legion.
I would like to suggest, however, that you postpone placing an order for a photograph until the spring or early summer, when conditions are obviously more suitable.
Yours sincerely, [signature] M. Crabbe [/signature]
Mrs. M. Read,
30, Newland Street West,
Lincoln.
