Data derived from many sources. Corrections/Additions welcomed via Helpdesk

NOTE ON DATES: IMPORTANT: For consistency, the Date is given as the date the mission TOOK OFF since the precise time of a loss is not always certain. Take Off date is unambigous and fixed in the official records, but obviously in those cases where the incident occurred before midnight UK time, then the Take Off Date will be the same as the Incident Date. Of course, most Bomber Command missions flew through midnight, therefore a Luftwaffe claim against a plane - or a locally generated crash report - may record the incident as occurring on the day following our Take Off Date. Bear this in mind when cross-referencing to our Luftwaffe Victories by Name/Date Database and other Luftwaffe sources. In some cases other sources may quote the date following our date, using locally generated reports as their source. To add to the potential for confusion, remember to take into account a Luftwaffe recorded date will be in local time, 1 hour ahead of UK time. When we discover a validated Incident Date we change our record if necessary.

Coll. Grave 104		Son of Henry and Ellen (née Clements) Bolter and younger brother of Marjorie, Doris, Ethel, and Arthur Bolter of Bennington, Hertfordshire. Further information: Born on the 24th of August 1918 and known as “Jack” by family and friends. Educated at Alleynes School, he played cricket as a member of the X1 team also excelling at chess, becoming secretary of the school chess and draughts club. After leaving school he was employed by Reekes and Goode of Hertford and in less than three years had become a licentiate of the Institute of auctioneers and estate agents, having passed all his exams with honours. In 1939 Alec was called up and stationed at a searchlight station in South Wales where he met his future wife. However he found it tedious and in 1941 transferred to the RAF. When he was due to be posted to the USA for pilot training, via Toronto, completing the course in just over a year (training in an AT-6 Texan plane) and proudly wearing his wings. He married Dorothy Cook in June 1942 at Caerleon, Newport, Monmouthshire before being posted onto an Instructors course, a position that left him bored and hoping for operational duties. He completed his training with distinction and went on to become a pilot instructor until October 1944 when he joined 49 Squadron.	Read Archive Report

They state that their aircraft was shot down by enemy anti-aircraft fire, approximately ten miles NW of Rostock in the early morning of 29 Jan 1944. They had baled out of the aircraft and have no definite information regarding your son. From their statements it appears that Sgt Bothwell the rear gunner was unconscious and your son went back to pull him out of the turret. However before he was able to rescue him that section of the aircraft was struck by a heavy Flak shell and the tail was blown off. They believe that your son lost his life at that time. (Extract of letter to Mr Bonokoski (Father) from RCAF Causalities Officer dated 24 July 1944)
