His father Philip served in the Royal Engineers in WW1 and his papers state that before joining he was working as a photographer. Sidney had one older brother Alexander who served as a Major in the Royal Fusiliers. Alexander was killed on 25 June 1945 serving in the Balkans Campaign. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/army\/greene-alexander-philip\/\">Greene, Alexander Philip\u00a0\u00a0 | Remembering the Jews of WW2<\/a> The family story can be found on Alexander&#8217;s page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On 30 June 1941 Sidney aged 21, married Mary Robertson in Aberdeen. The marriage certificate states that Mary was a hairdressers assistant and Sidney was a radio shop manager who had already enlisted in the RAF. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sidney was on board Blenheim BA800 which took off from Canrobert, Algeria at  15.15, to attack Robb Aerodrome, 14km north of Chouigui in Tunisia. The aircraft was shot down by Me109 fighters in or near the target area. The three crew are commemorated on the Malta Memorial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andrew Breakey, 109906<br>Arthur William Simpson, 1380795<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/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 size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Sidney-henry-Greene.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12686\" width=\"401\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Sidney-henry-Greene.jpg 218w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Sidney-henry-Greene-120x171.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 401px) 100vw, 401px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"564\" height=\"915\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/8029c7be-9cde-450b-85c5-3f8a4fddafe6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/8029c7be-9cde-450b-85c5-3f8a4fddafe6.jpg 564w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/8029c7be-9cde-450b-85c5-3f8a4fddafe6-250x406.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/8029c7be-9cde-450b-85c5-3f8a4fddafe6-120x195.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Sidney-Greene-marriage-700x259.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9810\" width=\"402\" height=\"149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Sidney-Greene-marriage-700x259.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Sidney-Greene-marriage-250x93.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Sidney-Greene-marriage-768x284.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Sidney-Greene-marriage-1536x568.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Sidney-Greene-marriage-2048x758.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Sidney-Greene-marriage-120x44.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 402px) 100vw, 402px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sidney Henry Greene Flight Sergeant, 18 SquadronService number 1172809Died 4 Dec 1942Commemorated on Malta MemorialAge 22 Sidney was born in 1920 in Croydon to Philip Greenberg and Rachel nee Symons.
