George York RAAF

Kyt,

Have I asked you about this before?

George York was a friend of my old MD.

Do you have any info on this flight? (Chorley?)

I am really trying to get a photo of his headstone (and the others if possible, so I need to know what other flyers were on the aircraft. Gen has been trying however it is difficult for his contact to get to Rheinberg.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts? Check out this site:
