of the Australian crew of an RAF Lancaster which crashed in Berlin during
World War II will attend a funeral for the airmen in the German capital. The
10 family members of the four dead crew leave Sydney today for Germany. The
RAAF airmen died in 1943 but their remains were not found until more than 50
years later. A full military funeral for the crew and three British airmen
who also died will be held on Tuesday at the Berlin War Cemetery with a
guard of honour. Chief of Air Force, Air Marshal Angus
Houston, will join relatives at the commemoration
ceremonies in Germany, the Defence Department said yesterday. |
