Memorial
Annually, in about October and November, banners are displayed in Barrie, Ontario, to commemorate the local war dead. Pictured here is the banner in memory of Sergeant George A. Jones. (The banner misstates Jones's rank as flying officer rather than sergeant.) Sgt Jones, serving in 24 Operational Training Unit, was killed in a flying accident in the early morning hours of 4 July 1944. While on a nighttime cross-country training exercise, a Wellington bomber in which he was the rear gunner crashed near Honeybourne, Worcestershire, England. (Image taken by Gregory J. Barker of Barrie, Ontario, in 2022.) -
