POW List of 429 Squadron 1942-46

(This list is in alphabetical order)

 

To the best of my knowledge this list is complete! This is probably the first time since 1946 that a complete list of POW's for the squadron has been seen. There were a total of 107 aircrew from 429 Squadron who became POWs. One died while a POW. Sgt. PB Crosswell became a POW on April 23/24, 1944. He was later killed during the march West from Stalag Luft III on April 14, 1945 when he strolled a little too far from the column of prisoners. The German guard justified it by saying Crosswell was trying to escape. He was actually looking for food. The German guard was appropriately dealt with when the guards and prisoners met up with the Guards Armoured Divison
