| 17 | Barnes | Lemuel George | F/L | Baled out - evaded | J/10072 | PLT | 402Sqn RCAF![]() | Spitfire RM839 | 21 Feb 45 - Safe - | Born on the 08th January 1918. in Calgary, Alberta Canada. Husband of Katherine Grace. A Crescent Heights High School. At the age of twenty-two, he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force and served in Europe and Malta during World War II as a spitfire pilot. On his return home from England, he went on to study civil engineering at the University of Alberta. Upon graduation, he worked briefly as an engineer in Ottawa and after the birth of his second child, came home to Calgary to be closer to his family. He then started to work at Burns and Dutton where he ultimately achieved the position of Chief Engineer of Heavy Construction. In 1959, he formed a partnership with his university friend Ian Campbell. They spent many years doing the work that they both enjoyed, completing many of Calgary’s major construction projects. He was also a skilled curler in his younger years and golfed throughout his life. Lem shared his love of the game of golf with his family and friends at the Earl Grey Golf Club. He had a lifelong passion for literature, theatre and music. He believed in education and actively encouraged and supported his grandchildren in their pursuits, taking pride in their accomplishments. Lem lived life with integrity and care for others, setting an example by his actions. He strongly believed in the potential of all individuals. One defining contribution that exemplified his generous spirit was building, through determination, commitment and expertise, a camp at Gull Lake for people with disabilities named in honour of him. They lived in Victoria for the past four years, where Lem often remarked that “he was pursuing the even tenor of his days”, he and Katherine were able to enjoy the natural beauty of the city. Returning to Calgary, his family felt blessed by time spent together. They had five children, Debbie, Harold, Sharon MacGregor (Ian), George (Nancy) and Tom (Menchie); eight grandchildren, one great grandchild, his remaining siblings, Mary, Kay and Tom and other extended family. He was predeceased by his mother Frances Sarah (née Twamley - died 27th January 1977, age 79), father Lemuel Arthur Wesley (died 01st July 1966, age 86), brother Jack, and sister Winnie. He passed away on the 07th January 2008, age 89. | |||||

Killed in action during this operation when Liberator KH214 was shot down and crashed into dense jungle. All the crew were killed. The Squadron O.R.B. states: ‘Aircraft “D” at 1335 hours at 400 feet was seen to be hit by bursting LAA and crashed just NE of the bridge at Milestone 37.’ Eddie Gilbert, one of the pilots who was on the raid: “I saw Brodie crash you know. Three of us went after the same bridge and a locomotive stopped halfway across. It was in a valley, steep hills on both sides. We were five hundred feet, lower than the hills, Wallace the Fiji guy, went in first. Steve followed him and I was right behind. There were gun positions on the hills, both sides of the bridge. They hit Wallace, then they got Steve, hit his number 4. I could see the flames. Steve and Murray did a good job, everything they could, jettisoned the bombs, got the prop feathered, as fast as anyone could. They tried to climb but there wasn’t room. Hit the top of a hill just one big explosion”.’ | Aircrew Deaths Database Allied Losses Database Liberator KH214 Archive Report KH214 |

Bombed target at 19.28hrs but hit by flak which damaged the front turret. The navigation equipment failed but they got a fix to return to Yorkshire. The weather as they approached base was poor and the aircraft encountering severe turbulance. The aircraft lost and then gained height and airspeed a few times in quick succession resulting in everyone in the aircraft who was not strapped being thrown about. The aircraft was flying at around 3,000 feet when the pilot ordered his crew to abandon the aircraft probably fearing he was losing control, two baled out and landed safely. Before anyone else could get clear the aircraft crashed at 23.20hrs into a field near Throstle Nest Farm, between Asenby and Cundall, to the north east of Dishforth. The remaining five members of the crew died as a result of the accident.

(Information courtesy Francois Dutil) These were the first casualties sustained by 433 Sqn in 1945 and it was also their first Lancaster write off. Three more would be lost before the end of the war , from which no-one survived ". . . Got prepared for 7 Lancs from each sqdn toting no less than 1 -4000 pounder &14 five hundred pound incendiaries all the way to Ludwigshafen . . . when they returned poor old Squadron Leader Stinson was missing in 433 A Able. We had seen flames of a crash in the distance but hadn't figured out it was one of ours. Nonetheless it was Stinson who had piled in over near Dalton in a terrific smash-up. Two of the crew bailed out in time but the other 5 bought it. Fri Feb 2: Got up bright and early to rush over and investigate this latest crash. What a horrible mess it was. It looked like he was in a power dive when he went into the deck at about a 30 degree angle & there sure wasn't much left. Three of the 4 engines were buried in the mud out-of-sight with only the tip of one prop blade showing. The fourth engine had been torn out & was burst open along side. Part of the kite had skidded forward & set fire to a farmer's haystack which was still burning when I got there. It was a pretty grisly sight . . . They had enough parts together to make up approximately four bodies but one is still missing in the wreckage somewhere. The only explanation about why it piled in was from the story of the two crew members who bailed out. They were badly shot up with flak over the target & it is thought his controls must have suddenly given way. Courtesy Squadron Leader A.
