Their father worked as a perambulator maker and he enlisted in the Labour Corp in WW1 and served in France. After the war he changed his name from Bolterman to Bolton and worked as a timber merchant in Hackney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sidney was the navigator of Lancaster PB354 which departed from RAF Fulbeck on an operation to bomb the Mittelland Canal at Gravenhorst. It is speculated that one of the Lancasters PB354 and PB300 exploded after being hit by bombs from above, which in turn  caused the other aircraft nearby to also explode. This speculation is confirmed by\u00a0the fact that there were no\u00a0Nachtjagd claims for the whole raid\u00a0and\u00a0all the Flak reports\u00a0in Northern and Western Germany\u00a0make no reference to a claim in this area.
