Flight Sergeant Clarence Young
Air Gunner/Flight Sergeant Clarence Young was born December 9, 1924 in Cobalt - Cochrane District-Ontario as the youngest son of Joseph Clark Young and Mabel Young-Cousineau. On his registration form for the RCAF, Young reported having had 9 hours of Mr Harry Free from the Kingston Flying Club and flying solo for 4 hours. And he also wants to fly at the RCAF. But unfortunately it turns out that he is too small to be trained as a pilot in the RCAF. For the rest he is fit to work in an air crew, for example as a gunner in a turret.
Young already was trained as a MG gunner at the PWOR in Kingston and after he enlisted he was promptly trained to become an 'air gunner'.
On March 30, 1944, he sailed from Halifax to Europe, where he was assigned the 'mid-upper gunner' of the Lancaster ME647 at the 166th squadron. With his crew he flies 23 bombing flights until the fatal on New Year's Eve 1944.
