Just A Forgotten Hero

This is the true tale of how the chance discovery of some memorabilia that had belonged to a heroine of the Belgian Resistance in WW2 led to uncovering the story behind them. How an ordinary country lad from North Wales who became an RAF Air-Gunner and was shot down in a Lancaster bomber over Waterloo. His adventures while evading capture by the Germans and how he returned home through Belgium, France and Spain aided by many courageous local patriots. Life after the war was not kind to William and he became estranged from his family and on the margins of society. He died alone and was buried in an unmarked grave unmissed and unmourned. That is not a fitting end for any war hero. Having learned so much of his fascinating story could we now tell his surviving relatives. Could we restore his honour so he can rest in peace.
