Sous-officier breveté de 2e classe John Ernest Scott
John Scott was a member of F/Lt John Allardyce Allen's crew. They were shot down in Lancaster DS739 on the night of 3 January 1944. A night fighter is thought to have been the cause. All of these men are buried together in the Berlin War Cemetery with the exception of Cobbett. He was mistaken for an American airman and moved to another cemetery in France. All of the crew except Sgt Collier were Canadians. He was British.
This document is not the end of the crew's travels after death. Read on.<P>

This is the back of Scott's Form 373. It contains most of the information seen on his Record Card with one exception. he last two entries show that he was SOS (Struck Off Strength) of 432 Sqdn and TOS (Taken On Strength) of RCAF Non-Effective Unit. All missing crew were transferred from their active unit to this inactive unit until they were released from it on final burial or return to duty. This allowed the RAF and RCAF to keep track of all of their missing men. All of their records were kept in one place until their fate was finalized.<P>

This is the Post Presumption Memo 6 months later than the Russian Zone Report. Notice that it identifies the aircraft as Lancaster
D 5739 not DS 739. The bodies have been removed from Koethen where they were buried by the Germans to Berlin Cemetery. It was not Collier that was removed by the Americans, but Cobbett. After several years the crews bodies were identifiable only by their remaining uniform and brevets (badges). The bombers crash made identification difficult even for the Germans, so MREUs and GCUs often depended on the German Death Cards for confirmation as to which body was in the grave. You can see that Cobbett is now buried in Choloy French Military Cemetery (English Section).<P>

CIMETIÈRE DE LA GUERRE DE 1939-1945 DE BERLIN Allemagne
Le cimetière de la guerre 1939-1945 de Berlin se trouve dans le district de Charlottenburg à 8 kilomètres à l'ouest du centre de la ville, sur le côté sud de Herstrasse.
À partir de la Theodor Heuss Platz du district de Charlottenburg situé près du complexe des salles d'exposition et du stade Olympique, suivez les panneaux qui annoncent Spandau en parcourant la Heerstrasse. Le cimetière se trouve sur le côté gauche de la Heerstrass, à trois kilomètres de la Theodor Heuss Platz.
Les visiteurs doivent dépasser le cimetière de la guerre 1939-1945 de Berlin jusqu'aux feux de circulation, puis tournez directement à gauche pour accéder à une petite voie à sens unique parallèle à la Herrstrass. L'entrée du cimetière se trouve sur cette petite route à sens unique.
Pour plus d’informations, visitez la Commission des sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth (site disponible en anglais seulement).
