WW2 †KIA 26 Dec 1943 Stompetoren, Holland. Enlisted 9 Nov 1941 Sydney, NSW. NOK Elaine Luther. Royal Australian Air Force, Flying Officer - 7 Sqn RAF |
http://www.basher82.nl/Data/stompetoren/luther.htm:
Clive Prosdocimi Luther was born on 20 May 1914 in Sydney, New South Wales, son of Charles Royes and Virginia Luther. He married Elaine Dora Luther and they moved to Lindfield, where he held a job as an insurance agent.
Clive enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force on 9 November 1941. After training he became a mid up gunner on a Lancaster bomber with 7 Sqn RAF.
His crew consisted of:
F/O Francis Rush (Pilot)
F/O William Scott (Bomb Aimer)
F/O Clive Luther (Mid Upper Gunner)
Sgt John S. Ogg (Flt. Engineer)
Sgt Kenneth Wightman (Navigator)
Sgt Henry Bushell (Wireless Operator)
Sgt William Buntain (Rear Gunner)
F/O Francis Rush, F/O William Scott and F/O Clive Luther were Australians, the rest of the crew were all English.
On December 16th, 1943 they took off from their base at Oakington in Cambridgeshire, in their Lancaster. The target was Berlin and this was the 6th mission in what was called the Battle for Berlin. Bomber Command paid repeated visits to the German capital late 1943 through early 1944.
Their Lancaster was claimed by Lt Heinz Rolland at 18.02 near the city of Alkmaar. The plane crashed near Stompetoren, a few kilometers to the east of Alkmaar. The whole crew except one was killed. Sgt John Ogg bailed out of the Lancaster and was found by a farmer. He was taken to Broek where he was given civilian clothes and a Dutch ID card. The resistance tried to get him back to England via the escape routes. After Christmas they took him to Amsterdam, but an attempt to move him further along the line was unsuccessful. Sgt. Ogg stayed in Rotterdam, working on a farm, until the liberation.
At practically the same time that F/O Luther's plane was shot down, another Lancaster of 7 squadron, captained by W/O Watson, was shot down north east of Lemmer.
On 4 May 1994, the people of Stompetoren dedicated this plaque to the crew that lie buried in the town.
