Berrynarbor war memorial. was created by airfields man
While searching for something else I discovered the war memorial at Berrynarbor [ N.Devon] Listed on this memorial is Flt/Lieutenant. Trevor Sidney Francis Meadows. Sadly he was killed along with his Navigator F/O Ronald Brown of the RNZAF in Mosquito NF XIII HK517. They had taken off from RAF Hunsdon on 24-09-1944 and were brought down into a field at Wiesede. The Luftwaffe recovered their bodies but there is no-known grave. Flt/Lieutenant Meadows was only 26 years old. What makes this even worse is the sad fact that just two and a half months before this, on July 1st, Lieutenant Peter Meadows of the 77th Battalion Royal Tank Regiment was killed at 22 years old. These two heroes were brothers. RIP.

The Dead got memorials, The living got time.
