Letter to the Editor: Trying to find relatives of RAF prisoner of war
Did you know a John Henry Boulton?
John Henry Boulton was born on May 21, 1915 and during the war he served with the RAF 7 Squadron based at Oakington circa 1941.
He later was shot down and became a prisoner of war from September 1941 for the remainder of the war.
During the war his home address was in Tooting, London, and sadly he passed away in Croydon in 2001.
He was shot down on the same raid as my grandfather, Leslie Davenport, on a Short Stirling Bomber coming back from Berlin.
I am interested to see if there are any extended family members or friends still out there that may wish to contact me.
