In 1939, the family, including Bertram&#8217;s sister Kathleen were living in Hampstead where their father David was working as a commercial traveller and was an ARP ambulance driver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bertram was an air bomber in Lancaster LL882 which departed from RAF Waddington on a night operation to attack the railway yards at Lille. The aircraft was shot down by a night fighter over Belgium, and crashed into a water-logged clay pit at a brickworks at Langemark, near Ypres killing all the crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MUG, Robert McKerlie Croft, RAAF 407199.<br>R\/G, David Payne Croston, RAAF 407821. <br>A\/B, Bertram Fraser. <br>Nav, Ronald Jacques, 134697. <br>F\/E, Harry Law Molyneux, 1802369. <br>Pilot, Mervyn Powell, RAAF 422817. <br>W\/Op, William Neil Read, RAAF 406700.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FRASER-Bertram.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1182\" width=\"365\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FRASER-Bertram.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FRASER-Bertram-120x179.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"392\" height=\"160\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/FRASER-FIGUR-birth-announce.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/FRASER-FIGUR-birth-announce.jpg 392w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/FRASER-FIGUR-birth-announce-250x102.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/FRASER-FIGUR-birth-announce-120x49.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 392px) 100vw, 392px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bertram Fraser Air Bomber, 463 (Australian) SquadronService number 1443752Died 11 May 1944Buried Wevelgem Communal Cemetery, BelgiumAge 22 Headstone Inscription&#8216;IF GOD CHOOSE, WE SHALL BUT LOVE THEE BETTER AFTER DEATH.
